Against Her Will

Angie Morris has it all-a high-powered job at a Manhattan mergers and acquisitions firm, a beautiful condo on the Hudson, and a reputation for being the most reliable analyst in the office. But when her doctor prescribes medication for restless leg syndrome, her perfect life begins to unravel. Within weeks, Angie-who has never even bought a lottery ticket-finds herself compulsively gambling. Corporate jets to Atlantic City.
High-stakes poker tables. Cash advances on multiple credit cards. She watches her savings vanish and her debt pile up, powerless to stop herself even as she loses everything she's worked for. What Angie doesn't know is that her compulsion isn't a character flaw-it's a dangerous side effect of her medication. As her losses mount to catastrophic levels and she risks losing her job and her home, she must find the strength to fight back against the pharmaceutical company that failed to warn her.
Based on information on cases of medication-induced compulsive behavior, AGAINST HER WILL is a gripping story of one woman's descent into gambling addiction and her courageous battle to reclaim her life. With empathy and emotional honesty, this novella explores corporate responsibility, the hidden dangers of some prescription drugs, and the power of community in recovery. A story of hope, resilience, and the strength it takes to rebuild when everything falls apart.
