Victoria and her husband Trip live the "perfect" life in NYC.  Designer clothes and shoes, staff to take care of them, an endless round of parties and events, and everything that money can buy.  Until the fateful day that there is a knock on the door and armed men enter the apartment.  Oddly enough, it is not a burglary but FBI agents who have come to seize their property.  Victoria is in shock when  they are allowed to take very few of their possessions.  It is a short time later that she finds that her funds have been cut off, too.  What's a newly penniless girl to do?  The only option that is open is to return to the wealthy town where she grew up - on the wrong side of the tracks - and spent a lifetime trying to forget and never planned to return to.  As she shows up on her mother and stepfather's door step she begins the process of being in survival mode and learns that her trappings of wealth might not be all that they were cracked up to be.The story line moves along nicely and the portrayal of the wealthy, snooty Victoria who is brought down several pegs was quite good.  Some nice humorous banter peppered the story and made you smile.  A pleasant read all around, even if her relationship with the FBI agent who is assigned to follow her is unrealistic.  I would read other books written by this author.
