The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio If you haven't
heard of Terry Ryan yet, you very soon will do, as her wonderful book:
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio has been turned into a
film which will be released in the USA on 30th September - its
international release to follow some time after.
With its big-name cast, which includes Julianne Moore (The
Hours/Laws of Attraction), this fascinating and heart-warming,
true tale about a hard-up mother during America's contest-crazy days
of the 1950's/60's, is bound to be a big hit with all would-be consumer
competition winners everywhere.
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio is published by Ebury Press: ISBN 009189127-2 and can be ordered at most major book stores, or via the internet at www.amazon.co.uk.

I am sad to report that Terry Ryan passed away on May 16, 2007, following a bravely born illness. She leaves behind her long-time partner Pat Holt, and nine surving siblings. http://www.crescent-news.com/news/article/2011012

Although
sadly departed before The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio,
hit the book shelves, Evelyn's love of words lives on today in her daughter
Terry, who wrote this book as a tribute to her amazing mother. It's
a story that will inspire and lift you, and make you laugh-out-loud
at one turn of a page; but shed a tear at the next...
