About this audiobook
Nobody in the family talks about Ellen’s grandmother Lola, who was swallowed up by the circus and emerged as a woman who tamed tigers and got away scot-free for killing her husband. When Ellen’s husband, Wayne, beats her nearly to death, she runs to the only place she knows where a woman can completely disappear - the same Big Top that once sheltered her grandmother. Though the circus moves from one town to the next, Wayne tracks it, and Ellen, relentlessly. At the same time, Ellen learns more about the heritage that is hers for the taking. With her violent husband hot on her trail, Ellen must learn to stand up and break the cycle of abuse, and pass down a story of love and redemption to her children.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a spectacular book. I loved the rich history of the past and Lola as well as the bright and exciting future with Ellen and her Aunt. I was so proud of Ellen for sticking up for herself and not falling into the pattern of her mother. Which she easily could have done. Ellen had great strength. I was not expecting the magical touch/element in this book. It was a nice one. Ellen's Aunt had a special talent that was intertwined with tigers. The author did not just give the glam and sparkle of the circus but also the family bond that the carnie people share working and living together as a close knit community. As the story progressed, Ellen grew stronger and stronger and really found herself as a person. All of the characters came alive in the book. Plus, I liked the ending of the book. I will be checking out more books by this author.
