is Marilyn Barrett. She has so much valuable information to give, and she does it in such an easy way to understand.
Legalistics, to me, always had sort of a frightening tinge, because I thought I wouldn’t be able to absorb everything, and therefore I’d get screwed somewhere. But Marilyn has made the most complicated problems easy, and then she gives you examples that are also simple to identify with — so I was quite able to follow all her practical suggestions.
This book is for all women — because all of us will find ourselves in at least one of the situations in her book before too long. I’m a small business owner, plus married for a second time, plus I took care of my mother during a long-term illness until she died recently. Marilyn’s book brings up all of these aspects of living, offers solutions to problems I didn’t even know I’d encounter, and is a book I’ll keep on my shelf as a reference every time I have a legal-type question.
Thanks for writing it, it was great. Jennie
