This Pygmalion tale of a struggling novelist turned bond trader brings to life the greed and riotous wealth of mid-2000s New York City. India Palmer, living the cash-strapped existence of the writer, is visiting wealthy friends in Maine when a yellow biplane swoops down from the clear blue sky to bring a stranger into her life, one who will change everything. The stranger is Win Johns, a swaggering and intellectually bored trader of mortgage-backed securities. Charmed by India’s intelligence, humor, and inquisitive nature—and aware of her near-desperate financial situation—Win poses a proposition: “Give me eighteen months and I’ll make you a world-class bond trader.” Shedding her artist’s life with surprising ease, India embarks on a raucous ride to the top of the income chain, leveraging herself with crumbling real estate, never once looking back . . .Or does she? With a light-handed irony that is by turns as measured as Claire Messud’s and as biting as Tom Wolfe’s, Martha McPhee tells the classic American story of people reinventing themselves, unaware of the price they must pay for their transformation.

"When the lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes." With these lyrics from Jerome Kern, Helga Hayse introduces a topic that should be required reading for married women of all ages everywhere, but particularly women of a certain age who have believed that their spouses were better equipped to handle the money in the marriage. The 16 chapters are based on seminars called "A Wife's Guide to Financial Intimacy" which the author conducts monthly in the San Francisco Bay area. Chapters are short, to the point, easy to read and follow, practical and memorable. "Death and money are awkward subjects," says Hayse, "A married woman is one-half of a legal and financial partnership. Unfortunately, wives behave differently in marriage than partners do in business. However, the risks are the same. My objective is to see that women achieve the financial intimacy they deserve to make the marriage finances transparent - and protect their financial interests in case something happens to end their marriage through divorce or death." This book is a compelling page-turner that every woman should read before she says 'I Do" and refer back to annually during her marriage.

After healing her own unhealthy relationship with money, and transforming her financial disaster into prosperity and security, Karen McCall created a recovery program she has now used for more than twenty years to help individuals, couples, and businesses large and small. In the midst of her money troubles, she saw a need for something other than financial planners, accountants, and credit counselors. These experts could tell her what she should be doing differently, but she needed someone to help her understand the underlying causes of chronic, self-defeating overspending and credit card debt, underearning, and low or no savings. To save herself, she created practical, holistic tools that address these sources of pain and shame. McCall’s program supports people as they uncover their deep-seated attitudes about money; provides simple, step-by-step tools for healing areas of physical, emotional, and spiritual deprivation; and teaches skills and strategies for experiencing lasting personal and financial fulfillment even in the midst of economic challenges and reversals.
