Little she realises that one can never really know another person regardless of how many years you stay together. Shocked beyond belief to find that her husband is not only a liar but also a gambling addict, at first she tries to cure him of this addiction by helping him lead a normal life with love and understanding. But then circumstance change and events happen over which she has no control. Life was spinning uncontrollably and she has to make a decision...her daughters' and her future or the love of a gambler and a cheat? Because life with him would undeniably land her on the streets sooner or later. This is one woman's journey escaping family violence, emotional and mental abuse, stalking and harassment in the name of love.

Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE PEN JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY “Feminism, history, literature, politics—this tale has all of that, and a heroine worthy of her own turn in the spotlight.” —Therese Anne Fowler, bestselling author of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald A revelatory new portrait of the courageous woman who saved Dostoyevsky’s life—and became a pioneer in Russian literary history In the fall of 1866, a twenty-year-old stenographer named Anna Snitkina applied for a position with a writer she idolized: Fyodor Dostoyevsky. A self-described “girl of the sixties,” Snitkina had come of age during Russia’s first feminist movement, and Dostoyevsky—a notorious radical turned acclaimed novelist—had impressed the young woman with his enlightened and visionary fiction. Yet in person she found the writer “terribly unhappy, broken, tormented,” weakened by epilepsy, and yoked to a ruinous gambling addiction. Alarmed by his condition, Anna became his trusted first reader and confidante, then his wife, and finally his business manager—launching one of literature’s most turbulent and fascinating marriages. The Gambler Wife offers a fresh and captivating portrait of Anna Dostoyevskaya, who reversed the novelist’s freefall and cleared the way for two of the most notable careers in Russian letters—her husband’s and her own. Drawing on diaries, letters, and other little-known archival sources, Andrew Kaufman reveals how Anna protected her family from creditors, demanding in-laws, and her greatest romantic rival, through years of penury and exile. We watch as she navigates the writer’s self-destructive binges in the casinos of Europe—even hazarding an audacious turn at roulette herself—until his addiction is conquered. And, finally, we watch as Anna frees her husband from predatory contracts by founding her own publishing house, making Anna the first solo female publisher in Russian history. The result is a story that challenges ideas of empowerment, sacrifice, and female agency in nineteenth-century Russia—and a welcome new appraisal of an indomitable woman whose legacy has been nearly lost to literary history.

Book excerpt: A memoir of growing up in mob-run Sin City from a casino heir-turned-governor who's seen two sides of every coin When Bob Miller arrived in Las Vegas as a boy, it was a small, dusty city, a far cry from the glamorous, exciting place it is today. Driving the family car was his father Ross Miller, a tough guy—though a good family man—who had operated on both sides of the law on some of the meaner streets of industrial Chicago. The Miller family was as close and as warm as "Ozzie and Harriet," as long as you knew that Ozzie was a bookmaker and a business acquaintance of some very dubious criminal types. As Bob grew up, so did Vegas, now a "town" of some two million. Ross Miller became a respectable businessman and partner in a major casino, though he was still capable of settling a score with his fists. And Bob went on to law school, entering law enforcement and eventually becoming a popular governor of Nevada, holding office longer than anybody in the state's history. And the Miller family's legacy continues. Bob's own son is presently serving as Secretary of State. A warm family memoir, the story of a city heir, with just a little bit of The Godfather and Casino thrown in for spice, Son of a Gambling Man is a unique and thoroughly memorable story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellie Gold did not know her house was built on sand until the storm arrived. The rhythm of family life has lulled Ellie Gold into a sense of false security, allowing her to ignore the tremors beneath the surface of her marriage. When Davis, her husband of fifteen years and the pastor of South Hills Church confesses his affair with her nineteen-year-old niece, Mariah, he is not motivated by repentance. He needs Ellie to manage his out of control, emotionally unstable mistress because she now threatens suicide. Ellie, summoned by a sense of Christian duty, stands on the pedestrian bridge and begs Mariah not to jump into the frigid water below. "He never loved you!" Her niece's words echo in her ear on automatic replay. Maybe she should just let her jump? In her moment of deepest humiliation, Ellie cannot help but wonder, where is God now? Like a sparrow struck by lightning, Ellie Gold falls from the sky. Only through the promise of new love with her neighbor Levi and a growing friendship with a sisterhood of prayer warriors will Ellie find her way back on the road to recovery. Praise for House on Sand House on Sand taps emotions every woman can relate to feeling--heartbreak, questioning God with "Why me?", and the deep joy of a circle of genuine, faithful friends while teaching us to apply a depth of love that enables forgiveness. -Kate Bowers Educator, Speaker and Author of Publicly Schooled In House on Sand, Debby Handman courageously tackles the issue of infidelity and the deep hurt, betrayal, and trial of faith that ensues. Handman shows us, through her courageous heroine, Ellie, that no matter what trials we face, God brings hope and healing--often in unexpected ways. The cast of characters in this heartfelt story will remind you of the importance of friendship, prayer, and beautiful second chances. -Melanie Campbell, Author of One Woman Falling and Winner of the 2020 Cascade Award
