A Fighting Chance

I love this woman! How did she make financial law not only make sense, but sound interesting?! I had a lot of emotions reading this book, especially when she talked about the insane things banks started doing back in the 80s and 90s. I thought about my parents. How my dad was laid off in ‘93. I had literally, just graduated from high school so I knew that getting laid off was not a good thing, but until now I really didn't know just how bad it probably was for my parents. How hard they had to work to keep up with the bills and keep us feeling safe and secure when they were probably scared out of their minds.

Warren is able to bring everything down to layman's terms all while injecting humor and humility into her stories. There's a really good balance of her professional life and her personal life. She relayed stories of the people who lost so much to banks and a government that stopped caring about the people. Much of the book made me angry, but there is also a lot of hope there too. After all, she's fighting for the people and she's a force.
