Synopsis

Omar Tyree has heaps of talent and a growing following. What is more, he is one of the few young black African-American writers whose fiction addresses the contemporary problems of male-female relationships. In FLYY GIRL, Omar follows Tracy Ellison, a young girl with light brown hair, slanted hazel eyes, tall hair and plenty of attitude as she comes of age during the hip-hop era. Motivated by the material life, Tracy, her friends, and the young men who will do anything to get next to them are plunged into a world of violence, gratuitous sex, and heartbreak. Slowly, Tracy begins to examine her life, her goals, and her sexuality - as she evolves from Flyy Girl into a woman. A captivating tale, written with fluid narrative and contemporary dialect, FLYY GIRL captures the complete feel and sounds of the streets and is destined to become an urban classic.
