About this listen
The barstool.
The pew of the working class.
Warden of wishes. Steward of secrets.
Custodian. Keeper. Protector.
On it, the ordinary sit.
Occasionally ... the extraordinary.
When a world-class casino magnate from the Cayman Islands steps into Corky's Pub, he transforms the familiar into fantastic. Threading in and out of the lives of the rich and famous, tales of rock stars and the mafia are woven within the trials, anguish, and endurance of the average.
This true story takes you on an incredible journey of friendship between an ordinary waitress and the wealthiest man in the world. Join the author on a page-turning ride of incredible highs with incredible hope into a world that exists only for the elite that will leave you wondering, "Is her new friend a Super-Hero or is he Satan? Is he here to save the world, or will hers be destroyed?"
Winning GOLD in memoirs from Reader Views Literary awards in 2024 as well as taking home GRANDPRIZE SILVER for over all Non-Fiction, this award winning memoir stays with you after the final seconds play.

Amazing and captivating
This was so well written and engaging from beginning to end. Based on actual events. Glenda is very talented and I hope she will continue writing.

Daryl, you suck.
The emotional connection you feel with the main character and author, Glenda is initiated with in depth character understanding and immersive story telling. The reader feels her absolutely shock and gut- churning after the LEFT TURN of a bombshell near the end.
Daryl, if you're reading this, I hope you know Karma always comes back around. I hope you have the day you deserve. 🖕🏼

I couldn't get through this
I couldn't get through this audible. I can't handle the weird fake voices of the narrator. I wish the authors/narrators would read it as if they weren't telling a fictional book, like a fairy tale with phoney characters in it. read it as if you were telling the viewers your story in person as a one on one conversation. I just can't with these types of narrators , loses me everytime. I really tried to just hang in there and not let it bother me but I can't stay focused on what they're saying . I was looking forward to this one but unfortunately I would not recommend it at all. 0/10

I can't get through the story
The male voice is annoying. I keep trying to get into the story but I can't concentrate on it. Have no clue what it's about after several tries.
