During the Great Depression, a young man who seems to have lost everything all of sudden has a reason to live when he falls in love with a married circus performer. Jacob Jankowski and Marlena soon finds themselves threatened with the darker side of show business from her husband and his henchmen. Researched to the hilt, Gruen pulls her readers into the world of the old-time circus where men worked for little and animals hoped for kindness. Gruen builds the tension with each page and readers will not be disappointed with the explosive climax.
