Greg Singer's job puts tremendous stress on his marriage with Nicole, who for the first time notices the handsome lawyer at the end of the block. When the recession hits Greg's industry, he thinks the crisis is merely an opportunity for God to bless him with unmatched prosperity, and he steps out in bold faith. But is he being "pound foolish"? Intersecting with Penny wise, (book three) Pound foolish returns us to Beecham Street, a typical American neighborhood, where a growing friendship brings new meaning to prosperity.
