What this book is about
LuAnn Tyler is a young woman living in poverty when she's offered an unimaginable deal: she will win the lottery — in exchange for leaving the country permanently and never speaking of how she won. Years later, LuAnn wants to come home. The man who rigged her win does not want her back on American soil. The Winner is a David Baldacci thriller about wealth, its origins, and its costs.
