A Day Late and a Dollar Short (novel)

==Plot==
"One thing I do know about men and kids is that they always come back. They may be a day late and a dollar short, but they always come back." –Viola Price, ''A Day Late and A Dollar Short''
Unlike McMillan’s previous novels, A Day Late and a Dollar Short emphasizes the love and bonds of adult family members instead of friends. It explores relationships between parents, their children, and siblings.
When the reader is introduced to the characters, they witness a damaged family become torn even further apart. Near the resolution they will see how this torn family picks up the pieces to come together. The story is told from the perspectives of six different characters (each a member of the Price family). They deal with contemporary concepts like prescription drug addiction, alcoholism, incest, homosexuality, molestation, single parenthood, and divorce.
