“One of the reasons that I write is because I’m more interested in looking, as opposed to looking away,” McMillan said. Her new book, “Who Asked You?,” explores grandparents raising grandchildren – a topic that has long fascinated her. She is now friends with her ex (“I just spoke to Jonathan on the phone yesterday”) and has set out to explore other family dramas in her trademark candid and funny style. “I just ended up realizing I had become this other person that I didn’t like,” McMillan said. The nasty split with ex-husband Jonathan Plummer, the inspiration for the popular novel and movie “ How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” was dissected everywhere, from book blogs to “ The Oprah Winfrey Show.” A lawsuit, fraud allegations and public accusations all played out like plot points in one of her novels. Terry McMillan writes best-selling fiction, but it was real-life drama – a very public divorce – that garnered her some of her biggest headlines.
