The Adventures of Bang-Bang Man by Philip Nork
Story of Matt who is now single, he's lost his wife and kids to divorce and they don't bother with him anymore.
Only thing important to him is betting and the horses. VInnie-the landlord of his complex sets him up with a computer and teaches him how to use it for betting.
That's after he's been tossed off the grounds of the horse facility where he used to bet and argue with the the drivers that made him lose his money.
Over the years he learns he can order anything online and have it delivered. His house is a mess and he gets into chat areas where he states one time the left side of his body is numb.
Vinnie tends to him and Matt wakes up in the hospital where he'd suffered a heart attack. With help from so many he's able to change his life around and even lose 300 pounds.
Those who do care about him, and he thought he had none, come to talk to him and that gives him enough promise to continue on and show progress.
It just takes that one person in his life to change it all around.
Like this story because it tells me of what really happens behind the scene with the horses and also about not only heart attacks but stomach surgery which my girlfriend had just undergone.
Felt so sorry for Matt when he hit bottom and glad he changed his habits to better his life.
Never give up, someone is always there for you.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
