The End of Normal: A Wife's Anguish, A Widow's New Life by Stephanie Madoff Mack

When I picked this up, I assumed that it would be another “poor me” type book written by a member of the Bernie Madoff’s family – the man who’s Ponzi

scheme – in 2008 – defrauded thousands of investors of millions of dollars.

However, after reading the book, written by the woman who was married to Bernie’s son, I think I had a true sense of what life must have been like being

a Madoff in the weeks and months following the scandal.

It was a truly harrowing account of a woman struggling to hold her family together – only to have her husband’s suicide almost push her over the edge. She was left to raise her children alone – all the while defending her husband’s innocence.

P.S. We also have an E-Book and and Audiobook version of this book within Overdrive.
