	Terry McMillan - Waiting to excel. By Bryan Curtis
		Terry McMillan is such a sly charmer that you wish there were a little more going on in her novels.

		McMillan's fictional world is the reductio ad absurdum of sisterhood—in which "sisters," literal and figurative, may be wronged by their men but never, ever by one another.

	Terry McMillan writes from the heart
		In 1996, McMillan again reflected middle-class African-American life with the somewhat autobiographical tale of an older woman who becomes involved with a younger man in her novel, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." In the film version, Bassett once again took on the role of one of the author's heroines.
		While McMillan said she liked both films, it is the recent HBO production of "Disappearing Acts" that she favors the most.
		For all her popularity, McMillan is not without her detractors, who criticize her work as lacking the depth and intellectualism of a Toni Morrison or Alice Walker.
