The Science of Getting Rich for Women
So far, women have lost $800 billion in the pandemic. For decades, if not centuries, women have earned 75 cents to the dollar of their male counterparts, with an even bigger gap for women of color. The Science of Getting Rich for Women aims to be an antidote to this global financial gap and a catalyst for women’s financial freedom and empowerment.

Ghost House
Ghost House is a short story collection where the madwomen are out of the attic and roaming the streets of Chicago, New York City and Prague. This series of “modern feminist ghost stories” explores the line between magic and reality and all the ways women can be haunted, and redeemed.
Bringing In Finn
In February 2011, Sara Connell’s mother, Kristine Casey, delivered the greatest gift of all to her daughter – Sara’s son Finnean. At that moment, 61-year-old Kristine – the gestational carrier of Sara and her husband Bill’s child – became the oldest woman ever to give birth in Chicago.
Bringing in Finn is the incredible story of one woman’s hard-fought and often painful journey to motherhood. In this achingly honest memoir, Connell recounts the tragedy and heartbreak of losing pregnancies; the process of opening her heart and mind to the idea of her 61-year-old mother carrying her child for her; and the profound bond that blossomed between mother and daughter as a result of their unique experience together. Moving, inspiring, and ultimately triumphant, Bringing in Finn is an extraordinary tale of despair, hope, forgiveness, and redemption—and the discovery that when it comes to unconditional love, there are no limits to what can be achieved.
