Green Card: An Inconvenient Marriage

In 1975, LaVonne Ellis moved to Los Angeles with $41, a car payment, and movie star dreams, only to fall into a disappointing workaday life. Acting on a whim, she agrees to marry Christos, a heart-stoppingly gorgeous undocumented Greek immigrant. From hair-raising car rides to risky interactions with the legal system, her life won't be dull again any time soon. But can this crazy marriage last? In this memoir of love, hope, and forgiveness, little does author Ellis know that a green card marriage will become the path to her own dream.
