“Prize Winner is the most charming and inspirational book I’ve read in a long time. It bursts with stories of soul, humanity, cunning, courage, and humor in the face of desperate times.” 

Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio introduces Evelyn Ryan, an enterprising woman who kept poverty at bay with wit, poetry, and perfect prose during the "contest era" of the 1950s and 1960s. Standing up to the church, her alcoholic husband, and antiquated ideas about women, Evelyn turned every financial challenge into an opportunity for innovation, all the while raising her six sons and four daughters with the belief that miracles are an everyday occurrence.
