Summary: "Who Asked You?" is an intimate look at the burdens and blessings of family and about trusting your own judgment even when others don’t agree. McMillan's signature voice and unforgettable characters bring universal issues to brilliant, vivid life in a wicked, hilarious, bold and deeply human story about how a family falls apart and then stitches itself together. McMillan is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, including two that have been adapted into feature films: "Waiting to Exhale," a watershed work in contemporary fiction about black women, and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." The recipient of the Essence Award for Excellence in Literature, McMillan is also the author of "A Day Late and a Dollar Short," "Disappearing Acts" and "Getting to Happy."
