Summary:  "Bettina Ballentyne is a chocolate heiress only by name; it is her glamorous and narcissistic mother, Babs, who lives up to the billing and plays by no one's rules. Navigating a simultaneously treacherous and alluring landscape of wealth, sex, and decadence - first in her privileged childhood in Chicago and later at a top-tier east coast boarding school - Bettina must figure out how to reconcile her yearning for maternal affection with her mother's take-no-prisoners-style parenting. Ashley Prentice Norton's unflinching eye and acerbic wit capture Bettina's coming of age with the perfect mixture of tragic and comic. Simultaneously sassy, deeply twisted, and uproariously funny, the novel's sharp and sparkly humor will have you laughing during its darkest moments. A mesmerizing portrayal of the corrosive effects of an American fortune, The Chocolate Money is a shocking and intensely readable debut."--Publisher. Genre:  Bildungsromans Humorous fiction.
