Prize Winner of Defiance

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How my Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less by Terry Ryan.

Summary: The true story of Evelyn Ryan, mother of ten, wife of one alcoholic husband, who was forced to use her wit and talents as a writer to win hundreds of contests just to make ends meet.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Comments: What an amazing story this is! It is so unbelievable, you will find yourself doubting whether or not it could possibly be true. The fact that it was written by her daughter, though, is enough evidence that all these events truly happened. I loved this book. I loved this woman who is a marvel to anyone who has ever raised children and worried about money at all. How did she do it? Read it. You will undoubtedly feel like your life is easy in comparison.
