Confessions of a Slot Machine Queen: A Memoir

This moving memoir describes how a black woman beat the odds stacked against her as a young and unwed teen mother from Detroit to become a professor at a major mid-western university only to risk losing everything she worked for after becoming addicted to slot machine gambling. The author renders her downward spiral into addiction and despair in such clear and unaffected prose that you'll think you were there in the casino watching her.
