In 2023, Belle Burden, a granddaughter of Babe Paley, published an essay in the New York Times Modern Love column called, "Was I Married to a Stranger?" It's a question a lot of people ask themselves after a divorce, so the column went very viral and a book deal followed. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage published in January, and quickly became the must-read book of 2026. It's part processing and part cautionary tale, especially to women, about being active players in their own finances, and clear about their marital finances. Alicia explores the story and some of the pushback it has received. Get your copy here: Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage (bookshop.org) Sponsors Upgrade your every day!
