CHANCER: How One Good Boy Saved Another, an Amazon #1 Bestseller, is a surprising and compelling journey that has been featured around the globe in The New York Times Magazine, Guideposts, Marie Claire, Adoption Today Magazine, and Reader’s Digest. Donnie is among the Amazon Top 50 Most Popular Authors in Biographies and Memoirs and the 100 Top Books in Parenting and Relationships. Her story will resonate with families who live with similar struggles and demonstrate the power of unconditional love and perseverance from a family and a dog that you will never forget. In her inspiring and heartwarming memoir CHANCER: How One Good Boy Saved Another, Donnie Kanter Winokur shares the intimate story of how a golden retriever saved her family, bringing love and support to all of them – but most significantly, her mentally challenged son. Seven years ago, The New York Times Magazine featured Winokur’s endearing and transformational journey in “Wonder Dog” becoming one of the top ten read and searched for stories in 2012. Now, for the first time, she is sharing the whole story with raw honesty and unexpected humor. Donnie Kanter Winokur doesn’t mind being upstaged by children or dogs, especially her son, Iyal, and his service dog, Chancer. Internationally renowned as a writer, speaker, and human rights advocate, Donnie has inspired, entertained, and educated a global audience for over three decades. Chancer- How One Good Boy Saved Another, is her first full-length book. A native of New Jersey, Donnie studied theater at Catholic University (“because being a nun was out of the question”) before transferring to Emory University in Atlanta, where she graduated with a degree in psychology. There her passion for drama evolved from repertory theater to commercials and voice-overs. After honing her skills writing and producing advertising campaigns for clients throughout the Southeast, she then created award-winning projects for Discovery, The Smithsonian Institute, and Broderbund/Random House. A dynamic and in-demand speaker, Donnie is committed to preventing what she calls “the perfect storm,” the failed opportunity for our justice system to support challenged individuals in dire need of compassion and protection. She remains a dedicated champion for shifting our cultural paradigm and changing public misperceptions about marginalized individuals.
