FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY

Movie star, poet, beauty, superachiever Tracy Ellison tells of her rise from Philadelphia soul-sister to the pinnacle of success, and what she learned therefrom. Part wish-fulfillment fantasy, part manual of African American sociopolitical awareness, this is a naive--albeit enlightening--fiction trying to appear sophisticated, a quality made more noticeable by Patricia R. Floyd's graceless narration. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 02]
