Wall Street to Rags and Back: A Gripping Feel-Good Story of Survival

by Lawrence McCann

What happens when you’re soaring high at the top of the stock market game and you suddenly lose everything…including your family, your home, your money, and your dignity? A thirty five year old Wall Street mogul discovers life at the other side of the looking glass when he is rendered homeless in New York City by his jealous peers. He’s at the lowest of the low and is playing with the idea of suicide. Then, when it feels like all hope is lost, a chance meeting changes his life forever. A group of homeless people befriend the broken investor and start to help him get back on his feet. Inch by inch he began to crawl towards success again and leave ruin behind. There’s one problem though . His old “friends” from Wall Street are still on the prowl trying to sabotage his last chance at a new beginning. Will he rise above this critical struggle and make a glorious comeback? Or will he fall miserably again at the hands of his wealthy enemies? Everything’s at stake in this financial frenzy that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Find out his fate in this gripping page turner that documents one man's fight for survival against impossible odds on the frozen winter streets of Manhattan.

A Surprise Read

I chose this book on Amazon along with a bunch of others. I have Kindle Unlimited and I read a lot.

I was pretty sure I would not like this book but ended up being unable to put it down. It drew me in. The characters are well formed and believable. The main character, Henry Pembrose, ends up being a hero to his associates, a group of NY street people. He becomes one of them due to circumstances beyond his control. His life falls apart until he meets people I'm sure he never dreamed would become his friends. It's a riches to rags and back to riches story that will have you reading intently to the surprise ending. Enjoy! I sure did.

Fun Read With Plenty Of Twists

This was a very good read and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. The characters were fun and imaginative and kept me entertained the whole way through. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a feel good story that helps you reflect on what is important in life. Glad I stumbled across this and don’t think anyone that gives it a chance will be disappointed.

This was a well put together novel. I hesitantly started this but was pleasantly surprised. This is not a genre I normally read. Informative, sincere, heart warming, and a little funny in some parts. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to start a new mental adventure. Excellent and koodles to the author.

Fairytale

Nice but unbelievable little read. Very simplistic and glad it was fairly cheap. Would not recommend. Luckily short and a quick read.

Fictional book with a feel good ending. Enjoyed the book but it had some improbable events.
