New book shares a true story that sheds light on the impact of gambling on families

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- What would a woman do if the one she believed to be the man of her dreams turned out to be her worst nightmare? Debuting author Kelly Delaney shares her story finding hope after trauma in "A Game of Chance" (published by Balboa Press AU).

Delaney is naïve and impressionable. When she is introduced to a young man on a blind date, she is immediately taken in by him. On the surface, Luke is funny, smart and caring. He easily impresses her with his plans to settle down and have a family. She thought Luke was the man of her dreams — until his secret gambling addiction brought danger to their door.

"I went into this relationship with blinkers on as I was young and naïve, and on reflection I was escaping an unhappy home life," the author shares. "(But) I was strong and resilient and grew stronger during this time. I never gave in trying to find a better life for my family. Life throws us curve balls but we can choose to stop catching them."

Shedding light on the impact of gambling on families, "A Game of Chance" shows readers how no one wins when it comes to gambling addiction. Both the gamblers and their families are struggling, but there is hope. To get a copy of the book, visit https://www.balboapress.com/en-au/bookstore/bookdetails/844414-a-game-of-chance.
