Ahhh, life in the circus. This book is wonderful. Telling tales of life in the circus [and of a very old man], sharing found memories; humor, sadness, happy times, harsh times. The writer is full of passion and seems to know her stuff. She is a heartfelt writer and truly makes you feel love [or hate] for the characters. I loved the story, loved the end, I wanted more.
