Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered
investment analyst, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy- and
she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't
get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing
portfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the
bacon. She does it all well, too, if her chic house,
personal trainer, BMW, and her loving son are any
indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed
with lately, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind
it too much; she probably wouldn't have the energy for
love - and all of love's nasty fallout - anyway.
But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to
Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core - not just by
the relaxing effects of the sun and sea and an island full
of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He's tall,
lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the
ocean - and is half her age. The tropics have cast their
spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a
cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes
and fears about love, she must question all of her
expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way
she has lived it.
Told in Stella's own exuberant, dead-on, dead honest voice,
How Stella Got Her Groove Back is full of Terry McMillan's
signature humor, heart, and insight. More than a love
story, it is ultimately a novel about how a woman saves her
own life - and what she must risk to do it.
