Disappearing Acts -- Terry McMillan

<b>From #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Terry McMillan comes an honest look at a modern romance, from love at first sight to painful reality to working toward a happy ending....</b> <p/>Franklin Swift was a sometimes-employed construction worker and a not-quite-divorced dad of two. Zora Banks was a teacher, singer, and songwriter. They met in a Brooklyn brownstone, and there could be no walking away.... <p/>In this funny, gritty love story, Franklin and Zora join the ranks of fiction's most compelling couples as they move from Scrabble to sex, from layoffs to the limits of faith and trust. <i>Disappearing Acts</i> is about the mystery of desire and the burdens of the past. It's about respect--what it can and can't survive. And it's about the safe and secret places that only love can find.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Terry McMillan<br><b>Publisher:</b> Berkley Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/06/2004<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.82lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.98h x 5.54w x 0.94d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780451209139<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Terry McMillan</b> is the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Waiting to Exhale</i>, <i>How Stella Got Her Groove Back, A Day Late and a Dollar Short</i>, <i>The Interruption of Everything</i>, <i>I Almost Forgot About You</i>, and the editor of <i>Breaking Ice: An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Fiction</i>.
