Nearly every American will experience multiple financial setbacks during their lifetimes. Incomes fluctuate. Investments fail. Emergencies strike. Life happens.

Yes, her challenges were greater than I could even imagine, but still… I hoped – almost ashamed at myself for suggesting it, fearing I might be wrong – there must be a hint of sunshine somewhere. (Right?)
