- Synopsis
- Roxy Clark--spunky, temperamental, and red-headed--had "circus in her bones and horses in her blood." So when the chance came to join the Hallock Circus, if only as wardrobe assistant, Roxy leaped at it. Before the summer was over, surely her skill as a rider would be recognized. Then, as a headliner, in a striking sequined costume like her aerialist cousin Mimi's, she might realize her dream--and even include Karl Kassel, a star performer, in it. Yet as the circus cars rolled through the midwestern and southern towns, Roxy began to wonder if she'd ever emerge from backstage. And that bull- headed farmer, Doug Gardner, appeared to confuse her with talks of marriage. Then suddenly a tragic rail accident catapulted Roxy to center ring--and a difficult choice faced her. In this colorful story set in 1914, Elisabeth Friermood brings life to the kaleidoscopic circus world--its performers, roustabouts, animals, sights, sounds, and smells--through the experience of a teenager as spirited as the horses she rides.
