Back cover: In spite of folklore, luck is never a lady. Thousands of people are becoming addicted to gambling every day across the land as casinos proliferate and people have more time on their hands because of retirement or job loss. What starts out to be fun soon becomes an all-consuming activity for people from all walks of life and all levels of intelligence. Dreams of becoming instantly wealthy soon turn to nightmares as those caught up in this insidious addiction begin to lose their perspective, their wealth, their homes-and sometimes-even their families as a result of playing more than they can afford to lose. In this book where the author remains anonymous rather than further shaming her children and grandchildren, one witnesses a decline of optimism and a glimpse into the very real pain that accompanies a gradual and, eventually, final descent into addiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia J.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1434383032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434383037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Patricia J.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43934952980735,"sku":"9781434383037","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b57ec932-ddcc-47bb-a15d-e4a99de2bcd5.jpg?v=1681417003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gramma-was-a-gambler-patricia-j-9781434383037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
