How Terry Got Her Groove Back
The sadness caused by the losses of her mother and friend lingered within McMillan until a trip to Jamaica led to an unexpected "romance in paradise", where she would meet her future husband. This unlikely turn of events became the inspiration for her next bestselling novel How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Just like her previous novel, Stella would receive its own Hollywood adaptation, this time starring Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs, above.
