Men, Money & Gypsy Blood: A Memoir of Love, Survival, and My Rise to Wall Street Sharron Ann Sibley

DESERTED BY HER PERFECT HUSBAND. Divorced twice. Widowed twice. Declared bankruptcy. Single mother of two young boys. No college education, savings, or job. Sound like the recipe for financial success?

Men, Money & Gypsy Blood is a coming-of-age story expressed as only a West Texas girl can tell it. A 1960s teen, Sharron Ann Sibley wanted nothing more than to find a gorgeous husband and have a home with happy children playing in the backyard. She expected to be a perfect wife with a loving husband, who could and would support her financially. Her dream came crashing down when she was only twenty-seven.

Sharron Ann survived by working demeaning jobs-putting up with bawdy comments, "fanny pats," and sexual advances. But her ability to see beyond the present led her on a path of self-discovery to prosper on her own against life's adversities and broken dreams. She not only excelled but thrived, becoming one of the first women in Texas to own her own stock brokerage firm. She found financial security along her thirty-year path. This is a true story of what determination and gypsy blood can do!
