Come and join Mariana Cramer, the author of “Winners and Losers” to discuss the heartfelt coming-of-age novel about 14 year old Lily, who sets out to solve the mystery behind the cryptic postcards her estranged father sends her. Leaving behind her ill grandmother, Lily embarks on a cross-country journey to find her reclusive great-uncle Herman, hoping he holds answers about her fractured family. As Lily and Herman—an unlikely pair of a runaway and a gruff old man—learn to trust and understand each other, they discover that finding family truths is rarely straightforward, and that the bonds of obligation and love are often complicated. Through their journey, both come to realize that not all knowledge brings closure, and healing comes in unexpected ways.
