I tend to read just historical, but this is a good book. Claire is living the good life, a Texas woman married to a billionaire. They are social high rollers, as are their kids. Until the Fed's come and arrest her husband at a high profile gathering where a significant announcement was going to be made. It turns out he had been running a ponzi scheme, taking millions from unsuspecting people, even friends, family and church. It was a process for Claire and their kids to adjust to. Everyone, everywhere they went, turned against them, some with threats and violence. Then they lost everything, becoming homeless. Perspectives change. There's a good Christian message throughout as they find out what's really important, and adjust with help from friends. The biggest surprise is their most rebellious son. Well written - you go through the process and struggle with them.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
