Flyy Girl by Omar Tyree
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.
Omar Tyree is an acclaimed author, journalist, lecturer and poet. His books include FLYY GIRL, A DO RIGHT MAN, CAPITAL CITY, BATTLE ZONE, SINGLE MOM and SWEET ST. LOUIS. He lives in New Castle, Delaware.
