Book excerpt: "When you have everything, trust no one An innocent little girl A phenomenal fortune A mother like no other Ten-year old Bettina and her mother, Babs, are heiresses to one of America's biggest fortunes. But Bettina's whole life is overshadowed by that of her beautiful, hedonistic mother, the glamorous but domineering Babs. At fifteen, Bettina escapes to New England and boarding school. But soon she's making choices that show that Babs' maternal shadow still looms long over her. Can Bettina break free to forge her own identity - or is she simply doomed to being her mother's daughter forever? Dark, funny and utterly shocking, this is an outrageous coming-of-age debut that really does deserve to be called unputdownable."
