| Summary |
Everyone's heard the stories: An aunt's husband dies and the vultures sweep in. She ends up paying $10,000 for a coffin, even more to a lawyer and then loses the rest of her money in shady investments. Thornton brings more than a decade of experience in human resources and financial education to an extremely emotional issue. And she gives vulnerable people easy-to-use tools for avoiding ... or dealing with ... crooks and crooked business. "The best treatment of this sensitive subject that we've seen."--Miami Herald. |
