Synopsis:

THE WELCOME RETURN OF FLYY GIRL TRACY ELLISON IN TYREE'S BRILLIANT NEW NOVEL The outstanding Omar Tyree checks up on Tracy Ellison, star of his hits Flyy Girl and For the Love of Money in his most entertaining novel to date. When readers first met Tracy Ellison in Tyree's breakthrough novel Flyy Girl, she was still a fun-loving round the way girl coming up from the streets. Stardom beckoned in For the Love of Money, which chronicled Tracy's struggles with the pressures of power and celebrity: now everybody's favourite flyy girl is a little bit older, a whole lot wiser and just as sassy as ever, cruising through the dazzling world of Hollywood's A-list players. Told from the viewpoint of Tracy's personal assistant and cousin, Vanessa, BOSS LADY lays down the trials and tribulations of adapting the story of Tracy's life. Flyy Girl is becoming a major motion picture and Tracy is determined to do anything and everything to tell her story and make sure it's done right. Stepping in and taking charge of it all, from screenwriting and directing to executive producing and designing, she quickly finds herself overextended.

In the meantime, she's also juggling the highs and lows of her famously turbulent love life, trying to decide whether she should remain single and devoted to her career or take the plunge and embrace the married-with-children lifestyle. Shot through with Tyree's trademark urban style, BOSS LADY finds the author's best loved character at the top of her game.
