"When Michael Burke read excerpts from his book to members of the Washtenaw County Bar Association, the attorneys were riveted by his compelling story of the hometown boy who became one of the most successful attorneys in town only to lose it all to an ever-increasing addiction to gambling. In Never Enough, Michael shares with great passion and insight his fascinating transformation from loving husband and father to disgraced prison inmate. Remarkably, you'll find yourself rooting for a man who let his family and friends down through deceit and the theft of over a million dollars from the clients who entrusted him with their affairs. But that's what redemption is about: the recognition of wrongs committed, the drive to make things right for the aggrieved, and the devotion to preventing others from succumbing to the same demons that led to one's downfall. Michael will receive no income from Never Enough until all his victims are made whole. I am hopeful that those who read his story will share it with others, thereby assisting Michael in his mission of warning others about the dangers of casino gambling. I heartily recommend this book for every lawyer in America and to anyone whose life is being sadly touched by a loved one undergoing an addiction of any kind." --John
