Even as she worked several jobs as a single mother, wrote a bestselling advice book, and became editor in chief of Self magazine, she was haunted by the image of herself alone, bankrupt, and living on the street --she even went to therapy to alleviate the worry. And then, one day, that's exactly what happened. She had taken a friend's advice and invested nearly all of her savings with Bernie Madoff. This memoir chronicles Penney's struggle to cope with the devastating financial and emotional fallout of being cheated out of her life savings and illuminates her journey back to sanity, solvency, and security.--From publisher description. 538 Requires Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 243 KB). 600 10 Penney, Alexandra. 600 10 Penney, Alexandra|xFinance, Personal. 600 10 Madoff, Bernard L. 650 0 Swindlers and swindling|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Investments|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Financial security|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Women periodical editors|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Periodical editors|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Women authors, American|vBiography. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|vBiography. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/|zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby.
