DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Lawyers are real people but not nearly as real as circus performers. This is the story of a young lawyer, a beautiful circus performer and a murder. Typical fiction formulas are thrown out the mobile home window and the reader is taken through the hell of one lawyer's life. You meet circus folk, ventriloquist dummies, waitresses at adult bookstores, dirty old men who watch the fishing channel at boarding houses, and jurors. Accurate, honest and fictional. This is the book you'll suggest to others but deny reading.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →During the years 1880 to 1940, the glory days of the American circus, a third to a half of the cast members were women--a large group of very visible American workers whose story needs telling. This book, using sources such as diaries, autobiographies, newspaper accounts, films, posters, and route books, first considers the popular media's presentation of these performers as unnatural and scandalous--as well as romantic and thrilling. Next are the stories told by circus women, which contradict and complicate other versions of their lives. Across America in those years an array of acts featured women, such as tableaux, freak shows, girlie shows, tiger acts, and aerial performances, all involving special skills and all detailed here. The book offers a unique and fascinating view of not just the circus but of what it meant to be an American woman at work.
