You Bet Your Life: How I Survived Jim Crow Racism, Hurricane Chasing, and Gambling

The inspiring true story of a popular national broadcaster who thought he had it allâ€”until he lost it.

Growing up poor and black in the rigidly segregated South, Spencer Christian relied on his familyâ€™s solid work ethic, commitment to education, and Christian faith to carve a path to success and national visibility. As weatherman and co-host for ABCâ€™s Good Morning America, he thought he had everythingâ€”a loving wife and children, a beautiful home, and a rewarding and remarkable career.

Yet, he was living a double life. For nearly 30 years, he was a compulsive gambler. By the time he found the courage to confront his dependence, he had lost millions, his home, his jobâ€”and most importantâ€”his family.

You Bet Your Life tells the roller-coaster story of Christianâ€™s rise to success and crash to rock bottom. It also details his rebounding, rebuilding, and recovering of hope and happiness. This gripping and transparent tale will amuse, shock, and inspire.
