Description

Christian McEwen has been listening to women tell their money stories for more than a decade. This book is the fruit of more than fifty of her interviews. Lively and surprising, with a focus on childhood memories, adult challenges, the joys of generosity and abundance, and the inequities of race and gender, it has been edited and arranged by McEwen herself.

Christian McEwen has collected an intimate, sometimes funny, sometimes quite sad collection of interviews with women about their relationship to money. It is clear that she created a deep sense of trust with each woman, enabling them to authentically share what is on their hearts and minds about money. This is a treasure trove of moving stories from women from all walks of life.
