[Carolyn Wilhelm · Rating 5 out of 5]

Practical, clear, well-organized, and covers every possibility

More ideas and tips than I ever thought of. For instance, a single woman should keep “male items” around the house for when repairmen are over to make them think a man lives there. So last week, but it is true that predators would be checking for such signs. And was the repairman called? Or did he appear without a call! If someone wants to borrow your phone, keep the person outside and offer to make the call for him or her. This book is full of great information.
