Tired of counting on the Good Ole Boys? Dec 25, 2004
By David Howell
You need this candid, no-nonsense financial survival tool if you have concerns about your financial future but keep getting "Oh, now Dear, you don't need to concern yourself with all that complicated financial stuff" from the Good Ole Boys. Annino's book, written in a candid, no-nonsense style, is a practical tool you can put to work right now; not just another financial book filled with legalese and fluff. You will get the sense that she actually cares about her clients, who serve as examples in the book - and you. And that's a good thing!

Excellent estate planning guide for women May 05, 2005
By Natalie B. Choate
Annino's book provides the basic legal knowledge women need to deal with problems such as caring for elderly parents or young children, preparing for death or disability of self or spouse, whether to buy insurance, etc. However, there is no dry legalese: the advice is straightforward and abundantly illustrated with interesting stories from her law practice. In chapters aimed at women in various stages (divorcing, single, married, etc.) Annino seems to be having a personal conversation directly with the reader, offering lots of practical advice. Even has a fashionably pretty cover! Ladies: start your studies with this book.

Do you have an elderly parent? A child of any age? Jan 02, 2005
By Book Diva
"Book Diva"
If you do, this book is ESSENTIAL! After watching my own mother struggle with her mother's various illnesses and lack of finances needed to cover the skyrocketing costs, I vowed not to let that happen to me. Ms. Annino's guide outlines, in an easy-to-follow manner, the steps you need to take in order to protect the ones you love from financial heartache. And let's face it, women in this country are the CFO's of their households and too often, not educated about how to protect and plan their estate (I know I wasn't!). Reading this book and implementing the simple steps that Ms. Annino suggests can save you and your loved ones tens of thousands of dollars...and that is time well spent.

FINANCIAL PEACE Jan 17, 2005
By Eleanor R. Mulvaney
Here, at long last, is a book that provides women a roadmap of the financial world. No matter how hectic your life might be, this book is worth the time to read. Patricia Annino's depth of expertise is demonstrated through storytelling. She makes it easy to face financial questions that are so often emotionally intimidating. Whether you are single, married, divorced or widowed, whether you are living alone or responsible for others, this book is a gem precisely because it raises the right questions and provides a menu of answers. This book stands to become a classic. Mothers will sent copies to their daughters with notes in the margin. Young single women will read the book in their 20's and go back to it again and again as their life unfolds.

Great Mother's Day Gift! Apr 22, 2005
By Lynn Buskey
As an attorney practicing in the field of estate planning, I read Patricia Annino's book hoping to find it a good resource for my women clients. Not only will I be reommending Women & Money to my clients, but am giving a copy to my mother for Mother's Day this year! The book presents a lot of complicated estate planning, financial, and tax matters in easy to understand terms with clear and realistic examples that women can easily relate to whether they are single, married, divorced, or widowed. In addition to explaining the legal aspects of planning, Patricia gives great tips, hints, and practical advice throughout the book. I definitely recommend it.
