  <about><![CDATA[Terry McMillan is an African-American author. Her interest in books comes from working at a library when she was sixteen. She received her BA in journalism in 1986 from the University of California at Berkeley. Her work is characterized by strong female protagonists.

Her first book, &lt;i&gt;Mama&lt;/i&gt;, was self-promoted. She achieved national attention in 1992 with her third novel, &lt;i&gt;Waiting to Exhale&lt;/i&gt;, which remained on The New York Times bestseller list for many months. Forest Whitaker turned it into a film in 1995. In 1998, another of McMillan's novels, &lt;i&gt;How Stella Got Her Groove Back&lt;/i&gt;, was made into a movie. McMillan's novel &lt;i&gt;Disappearing Acts&lt;/i&gt; was subsequently produced as a direct-to-cable feature.
