Publisher's Synopsis
James Horton was capped out in a mediocre career with a hefty mortgage, two kids, unrelenting bills, and the limited prospect of earning more money. That's all there was and all there would be until his death. He knew it. He accepted it. But winning the lottery instantly erased a future full of worry. It afforded him the rare luxury of placing his head on a pillow at night enjoying the stress free thoughts of an economically liberated man. At least it should have. So why did he find himself in jail with less money than he's ever had? Why does he accuse the bank of stealing his money and how did his family life become so fragile?
Set in the fall of 2008 amidst our country's worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, James didn't have much, had everything, and then had nothing. His haphazard journey explores our hard wired relationship with money and pushes one man to learn something about himself, something he never knew he had.
