“I thought the hard part was winning the lottery,” Eldredge says. “But it turned out, the real challenge was knowing who to trust afterward. Winning the lotto was more than I bargained for, and I am telling my story as a cautionary tale and an unforgettable life-lesson for anyone who believes money will solve all their problems.”

The story unfolds with unexpected twists, restraining orders, lawsuits, criminal investigations, and a chilling connection to a man sentenced to death row. The Root of All Evil is Eldredge’s suspense of a thriller with the emotional weight of lived experience. As readers turn the pages, they’ll question what they would do in his shoes and whether trust, once broken, can ever truly be repaired. The Root of All Evil is a personal tale about relationships and the hidden cost of generosity.

“My book is a testament to the emotional turmoil associated with suddenly acquiring a large sum of money and the devastation that it can bring. This could happen to anyone, and it happened to me. I am survived to tell my story all these years later,” says Eldredge.

One reader raves, "Eldredge's narrative is riveting and keeps you turning pages with each twist and turn as the characters cannot seem to trust each other or even themselves."

Eldredge’s life lessons are unexpected, unconventional, and unforgettable, and he shares his extraordinary journey in his writings. His first book, “Sleepwalking: Are you living life by chance or by choice?” on Amazon, is an uplifting self-help book filled with powerful reminders to slow down, embrace the present, and uncover the hidden opportunities within each moment.

"Life has been my greatest teacher, and the lessons I've gathered have shaped who I am. The Root of All Evil is a true story, an honest, unfiltered journey through the highs and lows that reveals a deeper truth: Money doesn't guarantee security. In Sleepwalking, I introduced that message offering thoughtful guidance and gentle reminders to slow down, be present, and truly experience the richness of life," Eldredge explains.
