Many times this book turned into more of a "reference"  Some of the descriptions were too detailed and it skipped around a lot.  I probably would have enjoyed it more if it didn't skip back and forth to different time periods.(and I'm not talking about back story) It just could have been a lot smoother.I would definitely recommend this book to others who enjoy history.Little Hot Mama and her family were very talented.  They traveled all over performing in the circus along with other venues.At times, they made a lot of money, but they spent it or their father gambled it away.  The lean times were VERY lean.I felt terrible for the children that were subjected to the man they called father.  I realize it was a different time, but I still can't understand why their mother would stay with someone who made their lives so much worse.I commend Flossie for getting her education regardless of her age.
