Orman writes financial books for women who have an uncertain relationship with money - which is most of us. Written from a personal point of view with lots of stories that provide examples of her points, they are all easy to read. The Courage to be Rich has some good general chapters on finances during and after divorce and after a death, but you will need a more detailed discussion like Financial Self-Confidence for the Suddenly Single if you are in that situation. Everything you need to know has a good question-and-answer format which addresses the simple questions as well as the more complicated ones.  Orman’s approach is get-rich conventional, and her presentation doesn't exactly reflect sobriety, but she does makes a pass at addressing the question of the real value of money in the context of one’s life.
