THE SMART COOKIES' GUIDE TO MAKING MORE DOUGH How Five Young Women Got Smart, Formed a Money Group, and Took Control of Their Finances

Andrea Baxter is the ideal narrator for this friendly approach to women's financial education. The premise of the book is that women can learn how to take fiscal responsibility for themselves and rely on other women for sound advice, as well. Delivered in a casual and comfortable manner, the production is easy to listen to; the material and approach will appeal to those who have been intimidated by dense financial management titles. Baxter's style is completely in sync with the overall message of the book. As she recounts the various personal anecdotes of the women who contributed their experiences with money for the volume, her conversational style makes their personal details as familiar as any confidences shared by one's own close friends.
