Description
Thirteen-year-old Raspberry Hill is driven by her desire for money. She will do whatever it takes to get her hands on cash - washing cars, selling rotten candy, skipping lunch, and cleaning houses. Her obsession with the almighty dollar stems from memories of being homeless and struggling to make ends meet. Raspberry's love affair with money brings her comfort, but even its presence can't answer the questions that keep her awake at night. What will happen to her and her mother if they don't move out of their current situation? How did Ja'nae spend the two hundred dollars Raspberry lent her? And what is really going on between her mother and a wealthy doctor? This haunting story explores themes of greed, forgiveness, and the complexities of poverty and its effects on individuals.
