This novel tells the story of Tony Mazza, a man whose life seems to be defined by bad days. Now at rock bottom while facing jail time for driving off with a stolen ambulance while working as a hospital orderly, Tony is left wondering how his life got so far off track. He ruefully reflects on his childhood, failed relationships, a disastrous investment, and family drama. Where I Went Wrong (Regal House Publishing) is a funny yet serious novel that examines the complexities of failure and success all people face.
