From tough Philadelphia all the way to glamorous Hollywood, Tracy Ellison has truly walked the walk. Now twenty-eight years old and a big-time movie star, Omar Tyree's infamously uncompromising, erstwhile "Flyy Girl" is going back to her East Coast roots. As she drops in to reconnect with her friends, Tracy seems on the brink of a happily-ever-after existence, bountifully armed as she is with over-the-top beauty, unstoppable attitude, and mountains of cash. But what is life, after all, if not a continuous stream of challenges? Tracy's homecoming stirs up a string of difficult questions about past loves, ambivalent family ties, and her artistic ambitions. Crackling with honesty and passion, FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY is a triumphant continuation of the singular adventures of one of contemporary fiction's most outrageous young heroines.
