I received a complimentary copy of this book to review it. The circus has been a childhood favorite memory for me, but as I got older, the life of circus performers, especially "unusual" ones put on exhibition seems wrong. And still as a child I really enjoyed watching the circus. Allie Burton portrayed Pearl's life as a money maker not a human being deserving respect until she "finds" herself.There are so many "different" people in this world, special and unique; how do you make them out as deserving of respect and dignity and treated as human beings. Talents and "gifts" are given to all, but in different forms and ways. How do you want to be treated.Pearl learns of her ancestry by chance; running away and finding a new and different life. Finding out her true heritage leads her on a journey of love, anger, betrayal and a world she never knew existed. Great story. Enjoy.
