Confessions of a Slot Machine Queen is a moving memoir describing how a black woman beat the odds stacked against her as a young and unwed teen mother from Detroit to become a professor at a major mid-western university only to risk everything with an addiction to slot machine gambling. The author renders her downward spiral into addiction and despair in such clear and unaffected prose that you’ll think you were there in the casinos watching her.
