Wins and Losses is a fictional story of a family--Tate, Eve, and Jenna Richards--who became all too familiar with wins and losses in their lives. This book introduces Tate and Eve Richards and follows their journey into parenthood where they suffer one of their greatest losses. Their daughter, Jenna, literally from birth, without even knowing it, experiences one of her first losses and invites readers to ride alongside her as she travels through life, continuing to experience more wins and losses. The wins and losses ultimately shape her into the young woman she becomes.

It's my hope that readers will realize that some losses in life allow us to grow and teach us that no person will be able to experience only wins. Both wins and losses cause people to react in a way that force them to push themselves in directions they may never have considered before. This may sound a bit harsh, but my goal in writing this book was to help people realize that some of the losses experienced in life, regardless of the pain they may have caused, happen for a reason. Those losses, whether understood or not, can and do sometimes open a door to allow them to find something or someone they would not have been able to find had they not experienced that loss. Losses in people's lives are sometimes hidden blessings that enable them to find something that, unbeknownst to them, they have been searching for. Life is filled with wins and losses of some kind. No one can win or lose unless they participate.
