5.0 out of 5 stars Right Book At The Right Time: Most Informative, Practical & Helpful Guide For Distressed Americans, April 4, 2008

By	Lillia Frantin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading about Petrovich in the New York Times and seeing him interviewed on Fox BusinessNews, I bought a copy of his book. Coming at a time when so many Americans are facing foreclosure and bankruptcy, this well-written & well-organized book gives clear and practical steps to help those who need real information to guide them out of chaos. I'm a novice, but I found it reader-friendly and easy to follow. It even includes a dictionary of important terms readers will find useful. I recommend it highly.
