By the end, the reader will have undergone a sprawling journey through a lifetime in practice, where the pit-bull litigator is tenderized through the clients, the work, the failure of her own marriage, by single mothering. Because the protagonist doesn't judge, because she lays out the evidence in her search for the truth in a circling, coyote-like fashion, the reader lives that tracking inquiry along with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarlene Madott is an award-winning author of 10 books, including \u003ci\u003eWinners and Losers, Stations of the Heart, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMaking Olives and Other Family Secrets.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinners and Losers\u003c\/i\u003e (her 9th book)\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003egrew out of her legal practice of over 3 decades, and\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewas named \u003ci\u003eThe Miramichi Readers \u003c\/i\u003eBest of\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e2023.
