This is for anyone who has ever dreamed of running off to the circus but didn’t have the courage to do it. Tessa Fontaine’s story of defying death by performing death-defying acts invokes a can’t-look-away feeling and provides us with a life-affirming, stand-off against fear in the country’s only traveling sideshow. I read every word and still couldn’t put it down once I was done.
