The ten stories in Winter Money are set in rural Kentucky and West Virginia, in dim horse racing and river towns. The men in Andy Plattners stories are tough and uncertain, the women independent and disappointed, but they are strongwilled and highspirited, always believing theres a better life, just over the horizon, after the next race.The title story depicts the life of a jockey agent who has seen some bad breaks but knows in his heart he can turn things around if he can just get some winter money to make a fresh start in Florida. In Chandelier, a bankrupt horse breeder risks everything again in an attempt to save a friends farm. Eldorado is the story of a young horse groom convinced an old car will be good luck for him, even though it could break down over the next hill.Life at a race track is as desperately unpredictable as the next race, but the people bound to this life live only when they are taking chances. The lies they tell themselves and others run with reality to create new truths. The men and women of Winter Money live in motel rooms that rent by the week, where strangers can change the course of lives. Love and compassion come from unexpected sources, and, as a result, dreams and desired are nurtured and sometimes, against the odds, sustained.
