For the Love of Money

A Novel

About The Book

In this New York Times bestseller, streetwise and boy-crazy teenager Tracy Ellison of Flyy Girl fame makes her grand return—now on the brink of superstardom as a screenwriter and actress—in a captivating novel exploring love, friendship, and the price of fame.

At twenty-eight, Tracy still captivates with her stunning looks and fiery spirit. After achieving success in Hollywood on her own terms, she returns to her East Coast roots to reconnect with family and friends—but Philadelphia doesn’t provide the joyful homecoming she expected. As she decides what she truly wants from life, she faces tough questions about her past and present involving family, friends, and an ex-boyfriend.

An inspiring story of hard work and determination, For the Love of Money brings to life the intelligent and ambitious Tracy as she evolves from a “flyy girl” to a strong, independent woman. With a fresh new look, this bold series is as fun to read now as it was back in the day, and invites new fans to experience the unforgettable adventures of one of urban fiction’s most original and beloved heroines.
