* Signed Bookplate* In What’s Up With Women and Money?: How To Do ALL the Financial Stuff You've Been Avoiding, Alison Kosik gives a step-by-step action plan on a variety of money topics. The ABC News contributor and former CNN/CNN International Anchor and Business Correspondent ―recognized around the globe as the face of Wall Street for the network ― found herself trapped in a failing marriage.
