Publisher's Summary
If you live life without a net, what happens when you fall?
Kathleen Cremonesi knew early on she wanted to be different. Determined to avoid following in her mother’s footsteps to an ill-fated marriage, Kathleen left Oregon in her early 20s to travel across Europe. On a whim, this former administrative assistant with wanderlust took a job as a dancer in an Italian circus and, working her way up, became an ostrich-riding, shark-taming showgirl.
Kathleen bonds with the exotic animals that could strike and kill at any moment, but instead bring her a peace she has never known. And when she stumbles into the arms of Stefano, the sexy elephant keeper, she finds a man who understands her wild spirit.
With thrilling prose and vivid descriptions, Kathleen takes the reader around the Mediterranean, where she discovers unexpected friends and learns how to cook, forgive, and love - across language barriers.
What the critics say
“Kathleen's journey toward self-discovery is enthralling . . . the descriptions of life in the circus, the animals, and the spectacle put on every night vividly take readers into the experience.” (Publishers Weekly)

I listened for the circus
Girl hangs around circus. Girl meets boy. Girl joins circus to stay with circus boy. Love abounds. Almost the end of the story. But when two people are raised in very different cultures, differences arise. I thought this could have gone either way, several times, then was surprised by the next round of angst. I sometimes find love stories (both real and fictional) tedious, but the backdrop of the circus was very interesting. So many things I wanted to know about were satisfied, so all in all a good bio.
