About the Book
This book concludes the saga of how the author dealt with the mortgage crisis by working with the banks, real estate brokers, and a bankruptcy attorney, while meeting with other middle income homeowners in trouble and with activist groups fighting foreclosures. The final chapter describes what the author learned in navigating the system, selling her home, renting in San Francisco, and becoming successful again. The book has gained growing support from individuals and groups active in this arena. Here are three of the endorsements. "It is a story of having gone to rock bottom in the world of credit and then being able to stand yet again with new hope and a plan of action.
