Going for Broke (2007)
Leia Carlisle can't tell anyone her secret. Not her husband. Not her friends. And certainly not her mother.
After a debilitating ski injury, Leia battles with depression. An adrenaline junkie, she searches for a challenge, but nothing will satisfy her appetite until she starts gambling online.
The more she gambles, the more Leia craves the next high—until she loses herself to the game. If she doesn't overcome this addiction, the game will destroy her family, her faith, and ultimately her life.
