Second Edition - When outdoor enthusiast Steve Whitman buys a sporting camp in the woods of northern Maine after retiring, he unknowingly begins the hardest chapter of his life.
The first few years are full of hard work, adventure, and newfound friends. But things begin to fall apart when one of those friends, Bert, suffers a mental health crisis and adds more and more prescription drugs to his daily regimen. Soon, Bert becomes a walking ghost whose once affable, alert gaze is transformed into a cold, dull stare. And this is just the early stage of the tragedy that is about to overwhelm the two men as well as their families and friends.
Winning Life's Lottery is a strangely hopeful account of a terribly true story that reads like a suspense novel. While Steve candidly recounts the bewildering events that unfold as Bert's mental stability declines and the formerly friendly man begins to exhibit mad jealousy and hatred, this dark tale is ultimately an inspiring story of survival and compassion-one you won't soon forget.
