After finding her brother dead from a financially motivated suicide, this gripping story shows one woman's journey from her haunting financial past to financial hope. "I harbored my own financial distress and secrets just like my brother. I knew that I needed to tell my husband about our own descending financial situation. 'The dread' was back with its baneful eyes piercing my soul. I was utterly lost, and I needed to find a way out." Money pervades all aspects of our lives; however, our past pervades all areas of our money. I was already married with a family when I found out how my childhood fears influenced my financial decisions. Looking back I remember my father as a man's man. Standing at six foot four, he was an imposing figure. He had a narcissistic personality which both attracted people to him and made people fear him. As a child, each evening when the sound of my father's footsteps reached our front porch, one of us children would yell, "Run " Katherine Paterson, national ambassador for Young People's Literature, said that "a child's heart is a resilient thing. Bend in out of shape and it bends back but rough it up too much and it develops ruts." My heart had developed deep ruts, and for most of my life when I felt fear, I ran. This is a book about how I stopped running.

In Just 18 Months, Nicolas Darvas Turned $25,000 into Over $2 Million...
This is How He Did It...
...and How You Can Do it Too
With just fifty pounds sterling to his name, at the age of 23, Nicolas Darvas fled his native Hungary using a forged exit visa, to escape the Nazis. A dancer by trade, he toured nightclubs and other venues, making a living as a performer.
While on tour in 1952, a Toronto nightclub offered Darvas $3000 worth of stock in a Canadian mining company, instead of his normal cash payment. He accepted the offer, and within two months, made an $8000 profit.
When this happened, Darvas became very interested in the stock market.
Seeing the potential for easy money in the stock market, but realizing that his initial success was based on luck, over the next several years, Darvas became committed to conquering Wall Street. He read as much as he possibly could about the stock market. He analyzed company balance sheets, studied analyst forecasts, and read dozens of investment newsletters.
This book is the result of that study, including how Darvas used his system to take a $25,000 investment and turn it into a $2.25 million fortune in just 18 months.
Nicolas Darvas wasn't a professional stock trader. He was a dancer. Yet, his unique approach to stock trading, which allowed him to make money regardless of whether the market rose or fell, enabled him to make a fortune.
Will this system work for you? Yes
Unlike most stock trading systems, Darvas' unique strategies work, regardless of the economy or other market conditions. In fact, thanks to modern day analysis tools, his system works as well today as it ever has.
Every day, people make money in the stock market. You can too

Praise for Prodigal Sons & Material Girls

"Nathan Dungan’s book is for every parent, regardless of wealth or status–it will be the go-to book for a good long time. Its messages about money and values are timeless, and right on time."
–Harvey MacKay
Bestselling author of Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive
and Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty, among other titles

"For harassed parents and manipulated children, Nathan Dungan’s book provides a powerful protective shield. I especially appreciated his ‘Share-Save-Spend’ approach, with its emphasis on teaching children the importance of sharing with those less fortunate. It’s a lesson that can help all of us, not only our children, live within our means and make the world a better place."
–John de Graaf
coauthor, Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic
coproducer of the PBS Affluenza series

"Nathan Dungan has written a gem. He explains in a clear and engaging way how Madison Avenue has our kids in their cross hairs. What’s even better though is that he gives sound and practical advice about what we can do about it. I urge everyone who cares about kids to read this book."
–David Walsh, PhD
President, National Institute on Media and the Family

"Nathan Dungan exposes the culture of spending that victimizes our children and young people. Nathan helps us learn to lead the young people we care about toward more satisfying values and behaviors. Parents, grandparents, and mentors to the next generation will find this book a must."
–Rev. Loren B. Mead
Founding President, The Alban Institute

"Prodigal Sons and Material Girls is a wake-up call to one of the biggest problems facing kids today: the inability to deal responsibly with money. Mr. Dungan’s practical advice is to reorder our financial priorities . . . to share first, save next, and spend later . . . and then to pass these values on to our children. Only by doing so will we successfully defeat the three-headed monster of consumer products companies, media conglomerates, and advertising agencies."
–Bruce Nicholson
President and CEO, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans
