**"Passionately advocates for individuals in need while highlighting that bankruptcy is far from a black and white process."—** BookLife by Publisher's Weekly
**"A deeply personal account of a life led in service of the law as well as a forcefully presented and thoughtfully written account of debt in modern America." —** Kirkus Reviews
"Humanizes the bankruptcy experience." —Nancy B. Rapoport, JD, UNLV Distinguished Professor, speaker on bankruptcy ethics
Bankruptcy is often treated as a mark of shame rather than a financial safety net. But what if that story is wrong?
Drawing on nearly three decades as a federal bankruptcy judge—and as the first woman appointed to the Arizona bankruptcy court—Sarah Sharer Curley reframes bankruptcy as a vital mechanism for fairness, renewal, and social stability. Curley witnessed firsthand how bankruptcy law plays out for both everyday Americans and the most powerful corporations in the country—and how the law began to increasingly favor creditors and abandon those it was designed to protect.
Through gripping accounts of real cases, ranging from families overwhelmed by debt to high-profile failures, Curley reveals the human cost of debt and how bankruptcy court often functions as the "emergency room" of the law, where people in crisis arrive seeking a chance to breathe and start again.
Both a civic guide and a call to action, this book will change the way you think about debt, fairness, and forgiveness—and remind you why they matter to us all.
