OVER 10 MILLION COPIES IN PRINT. Jacob Janowski’s luck
had run out--orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until
he landed on a rickety train that was home to the Benzini
Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. A veterinary student
just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the
circus menagerie. It was the Great Depression and for Jacob the
circus was both his salvation and a living hell. There he met
Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the
charismatic but brutal animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an
untrainable elephant who was the great hope for this third-rate
traveling show. The bond that grew among this group of misfits
was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only
hope for survival.
Characters: 63. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
