In the 1960's, Victoria runs away from an abusive father and joins the VanDrexel Family Circus. After trying out a variety of jobs, she finds a talent for the tightrope and begins falling for one of the VanDrexel's sons. In the present day, Callie, Victoria's granddaughter, and her mother have left the circus to live and work at an exotic animal rescue facility. Callie, outraged that she is no longer walking the tightrope, is determined to rejoin the circus.

This book was a bit boring. There was a lot of teenage angst, which was a bit off-putting. The book featured short alternating chapters, which made it feel like neither the story or characters were very well developed. Overall, a bust. ( )
