My Summary:

The Winners is installment #3 in the Beartown series. It is the story of family, loyalties, motivations, community, sports….and the big questions in life. What is a winner? Who are the winners?

“You want to understand this place?

“A kid needs money or skill to be a somebody in Beartown.”
