    About this ebook

    Poker Boy sits peacefully in the MGM Grand, waiting for Patty, his girlfriend, to get off work. But the peace gets shattered when an older woman, skinny, not well-kept, and clearly starving walks in.

    Poker Boy decides he should help her. No way of knowing who the woman might be.

    A piece of the Poker Boy Universe history. And a feel-good story as well.
