Description
From the author of Art Lessons, a finalist for the Robert Kroetch City of Edmonton Book Prize and the Alberta Readers' Choice Awards! Finalist - High Plains Book Award In the stories in Winning Chance , Katherine Koller explores second chances, how we find them, and how we find the courage to take them. Whether they are contractors running into an ex while on the job, a busy mother pursuing community theatre, or a family building an illegal ice rink after an environmental collapse, Katherine Koller has created empathetic portraits of characters searching to connect.

"These stories punch above their realist, slice-of-life weights, thanks to Koller's specificity and description...The ingredients for near-transcendent goodness, Winning Chance urges us to believe, all exist in life as we know it." - Alberta Views
