Book Description
Scott and Kelly are a couple of average, every day people, hard working, kind and decent. Then one night they receive a mysterious phone call informing them that they've just won a lottery they didn't know they were playing. It is an offer that no one could refuse, an offer that promises to fulfil all of their worldly dreams. It is only after that they realize nothing comes for free, and what they've won is nothing compared to what they might lose. And by then it might be too late. About the Author: I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, and currently reside in Lethbridge, Alberta. I have a B.A. in English from the University of Lethbridge. This is my first published work.

Women, Pleasure and the Gambling Experience
Author: Emma Casey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134779682
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Drawing on a broad range of historical and sociological literature, this book traces the everyday gambling experiences of a diverse group of women. It provides fascinating and original insights into the pleasures afforded to women through their gambling participation and draws on a variety of feminist literature to understand women's motivations and experience of play, and to examine the ways in which women negotiate their right to gamble without reprimand. Since gambling tends to be framed within moral discourses of danger and excess, this book offers a defence of women's decisions to gamble against an often hostile backdrop. It rewrites claims that gambling is 'meaningless' and reckless spending, by pointing instead to the highly complex strategies that women who gamble employ. Importantly, it adds to contemporary feminist debates about women's leisure by showing how women seize control of their lives in order to carve out a time and space for the pursuit of pleasure.
