Terry McMillan's Ex Writes His Own Novel

It is reported that author Terry McMillan's ex-husband, Jonathan Plummer, has written a novel that is due to be on the shelves September 4th. It is called, "Balancing Act: A Novel."

The history between Terry and Jonathan is that Terry, who is 23 years older than Jonathan, met him in Jamaica and had a whirlwind romance that led to her writing the 1996 best selling novel,"How Stella Got Her Groove Back." The book was turned into a movie starring Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs. It later came out that Jonathan was gay, which angered Terry, and he claimed that he told her when she met him. This past March, Terry sued Jonathan for $40 million dollars, saying that he tried to humiliate and embarrass her during their divorce.

The book is about a Jamaican man who is living an ordinary life until a powerful woman who owns a modeling agency finds him and whisks him into her world but the young man finds he has a hidden hunger for a male model.
