About this book
In this sequel to "Money Hungry," Raspberry Hill, a teen who was once homeless, struggles with her feelings toward her drug-addicted father who has returned to her life. When a troubled neighborhood teenager attacks her mother, Raspberry must confront her fears that she may have inherited her father's tendency toward lying and stealing. The story is set a year after her mother threw away her hard-earned money, leaving Raspberry to equate money with security and balance.
