Margo's Got Money Troubles

A bold, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartwarming story about one young woman`s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world--from the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen. As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet`s always known she`d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can`t imagine how she`ll ever make a living. She`s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor--and while the affair is brief, it isn`t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone`s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion--fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she`ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx`s advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she`s turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo`s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price? Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo`s Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who`s struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. It`s a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off.
