Bankruptcy From A to Z: The Path to Financial Hope and Freedom by paralegal Betty Anne Grillo is an informational, inspirational guide to understanding the legal terms of bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy From A to Z: The Path to Financial Hope and Freedomis a practical, hands-on guide that everyone will understand and find useful. Acting as a cheerleader and teacher, author Grillo uses her 18-plus years of experience as a paralegal, specifically in bankruptcy, to help you survive what can often be an ordeal. She’s made it her mission to transform confusing legal jargon into language that the average person can not only understand, but use to his or her benefit.
Written in a way that is as informative as it is supportive, Grillo’s book provides the tools to turn a tough situation into a positive one. She shows you how to put fear and guilt behind you and explains why there is no shame in the process of filing for bankruptcy. Consider bankruptcy as a financial decision, she implores, rather than as a last resort, and concentrate on the brighter future ahead of you, rather than dwelling in the past.

Chapter One - One Step at a Time
I know you don’t want to read this book. Honestly I wish I hadn’t felt the need to write it. You never thought you would be part of a financial horror movie. I understand completely. It seems like a nightmare that just won’t end.
We know that sometimes we have to read things we don’t want to read and do things we don’t want to do. This book turns your current financial roadblock into a common-sense leap toward the breakthrough.
You probably don’t remember learning your first language as a young child because it was a natural part of growing up. Learning about bankruptcy is different because you never thought you would face this situation, and understanding the language associated with bankruptcy is important at this pivotal time in your life. These pages will educate you about terms specific to bankruptcy, sometimes referred to as legalese. This book translates the bankruptcy knowledge I gained during my career as a paralegal into a common-sense language you can use to your benefit. Take control of your own financial future.
You find yourself here after a painful, unexpected personal journey. Your triumph over the pain will be even more personal. Far too many honest, hard-working people like you have made gut-wrenching decisions about bankruptcy. You are definitely not alone. Bankruptcy can affect anyone.
I am encouraged that you found the strength to read this book. You confronted your financial problems in an intelligent way, and you will find the solutions to those problems in short order. You have taken the first steps toward reclaiming and restoring your financial freedom.
