About The Book

Cookie Club Synopsis

Larry Brennan, owner of the Lucky Charm – one of the most successful neighborhood casinos in Las Vegas – seems to have it all: A loving wife and family, close friends, money in the bank. But beneath the surface, he is slowly dying. All his life, Larry has suffered from a compulsive addiction to food, a dependence suffocating him, killing him, threatening to consume him.

When Larry discovers that a small group of his friends and acquaintances are trying to deal with the same affliction, he bands them into the Last Cookie Club. More than a self-help group, the Last Cookie Club is a collection of survivors dedicated to freeing themselves from the deadly grip of addictive eating forever. With their help, Larry discovers a secret that is both simple and profound – and uses it to lead them on a path of discovery, enlightenment and freedom.

For anyone who has ever battled destructive, addictive behavior, the Last Cookie Club will provide you with hope – and more importantly, perhaps the answer you’ve been searching for.

Cookie Club Excerpt

Chapter 1

I’ve been the fat guy my whole life and I’ve hated myself for it. I mean hated." A long pause. "The sickest thing is, you know how I handled the hate? I ate more. I ate when I was sad, I ate when I was lonely, I ate when I was bored. I’ve been through so many diets, I must've lost a million pounds by now. But I always put them back on. And more. Even when I was young, I was the fat kid in school. The others used to say some pretty mean stuff. Names that still cut me to the bone. But nothing they called me could have been worse than what I said to myself. A little over a year ago I actually thought about blowing my brains out. The only reason I didn’t is because I couldn’t to do it to my Mom." Another long pause. “But that was a year ago. Before Larry. Before all this.”
