Cherry Money Baby
John M. Cusick
About this book
Cherry loves her simple life - her family's tiny trailer, Lucas, her soft-handed sweetheart next-door, even her job at Burrito Barn. But here comes Ardelia Deen, a glamorous starlet who sweeps Cherry into a world of fast cars and penthouse parties. Now Cherry's small-town life seems so ... well, small. When Ardelia drops a baby-bomb of an offer, Cherry finds herself morphing into Cherrdelia; because one weird-ass, star-studded head-spinner of a day could change a girl into something else altogether.
