Now a major motion picture, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and
starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, and Michael
Cera--the true story of "Hollywood's poker princess" who gambled
everything, won big, then lost it all.
When Molly Bloom was a little girl in a small Colorado town, she dreamed
of 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.
She ultimately got more than she could have ever bargained for.
In Molly's Game, she takes you through her adventures running an
exclusive high-stakes private poker game catering to such clients as
Hollywood royalty like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, athletes,
billionaires, politicians, and financial titans. With rich detail, Molly
describes a world of glamour, privilege, and secrecy in which she made
millions, lived the high life, and fearlessly took on the Russian and
Italian mobs--until she met the one adversary she could not outsmart:
the United States government.
It's the story of how a determined woman gained--and then lost--her
place at the table, and of everything she learned about poker, love, and
life in the process.
