Liz Perle has had the kind of complicated relationship with money that a lot of us have had, maybe she's just more honest about it.
Her reckoning came some years ago when after quitting her job, selling her house, and joining her husband in Singapore with their young child, her husband told her he wanted a divorce.
Here's how she puts it in the introduction: "One day, quite suddenly, my worst fears were realized. Without warning, my marriage collapsed, taking with it my financial security. After all, I had, quite willingly, handed over my economic life to my husband. Now he and all our assets were retreating at 500 miles an hour."
Perle did some serious soul-searching and the result is a candid, introspective book called "Money, A Memoir: Women, Emotions & Cash." Liz Perle's previous book is called, "When Work Doesn't Work Anymore."
