520    Shortfall opens with a surprise discovery in an attic--
       boxes filled with letters and documents hidden for more 
       than seventy years--and launches into a fast-paced story 
       that uncovers the dark secrets in Echols's family--an 
       upside-down version of the building and loan story at the 
       center of Frank Capra's 1946 movie, It's a Wonderful Life.
       In a narrative filled with colorful characters and 
       profound insights into the American past, Shortfall is 
       also the essential backstory to more recent financial 
       crises, from the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s and
       1990s to the subprime collapse of 2008.  Shortfall 
       chronicles the collapse of the building and loan industry 
       during the Great Depression--a story told in microcosm 
       through the firestorm that erupted in one hard-hit 
       American city during the early 1930s. Over a six-month 
       period in 1932, all four of the building and loan 
       associations in Colorado Springs, Colorado, crashed in an 
       awful domino-like fashion, leaving some of the town's 
       citizens destitute. The largest of these associations was 
       owned by author Alice Echols's grandfather, Walter Davis, 
       who absconded with millions of dollars in a case that 
       riveted the national media. This book tells the dramatic 
       story of his rise and shocking fall.
