Non-Fiction Memoir
Her Place at the Table When Molly Bloom was a little girl growing up in a small
Colorado town, she watched her brothers win medals, ace
tests, and receive high praise from everyone they met. Molly
wanted nothing more than to bask in that glow a little
herself, so she pushed herself too—as a student, as an
athlete. She was successful but felt like she was always
coming from behind. She wanted to break free, to find a life
without rules and limits, a life where she didn't have to
measure up to anyone or anything—where she could become
whatever she wanted. Molly wanted more, and she got more than she could have ever
bargained for. In Molly's Game, Molly Bloom takes the reader through her
adventures running an exclusive high-stakes private poker
game. Her clients ranged from iconic stars like Leonardo
DiCaprio and Ben Affleck to politicians and financial titans
so powerful they moved markets and changed the course of
history. With rich detail, Molly describes a world that
until now has been shrouded in glamour, privilege, and
secrecy, one where she fearlessly took on the Russian and
Italian mobs—until she met the one adversary she could not
outsmart, even though she had justice on her side: the
United States government. Molly's Game is an incredible coming-of-age story about a
young girl who rejected convention in pursuit of her version
of the American dream. It's the story of how she gained—and
then lost—her place at the table, and of everything she
learned about poker, love, and life in the process.
