Praise for Who Asked You? "McMillan writes jauntily and with customary good humor. . . .  Her story affirms the value of love and family, to say nothing of the strength of resolute women in the absence of much strength on the part of those few men who happen to be in the vicinity. . . . A solid, well-told story." -Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Who Asked You? "A well-crafted story of acceptance, forgiveness, and hope. McMillan deftly weaves her tale of a black Los Angeles family's disharmony around the narratives of bickering sisters Betty Jean, Arlene, and Venetia as they watch their kids stumble into adulthood. . . . Strong-hearted kids lead the family back to each other-but McMillan's story belongs to the middle-aged steel magnolias who value loyalty above all." -Publishers Weekly "McMillan writes jauntily and with customary good humor. . . .  Her story affirms the value of love and family, to say nothing of the strength of resolute women in the absence of much strength on the part of those few men who happen to be in the vicinity. . . . A solid, well-told story." -Kirkus Reviews
