Rebekah Jacobs: My Father Ran a Ponzi scheme.

Join me as I talk with Rebekah Jacobs about surviving the destructive force that was her father who ran a Ponzi scheme and swindled friends and family and left her and her mother and brother financially and emotional bereft before landing himself in jail for fifteen years. You won't want to miss the discussion.
 
Rebekah Jacobs is a writer, reading specialist, and book reviewer.  She lives outside of DC with her hubby, 3 kiddos (a teen, a tween, and a preschooler), plus a pandemic puppy.
