About this listen

Two women—bound by blood, torn apart by circumstance—find together that true strength comes in many forms.

In 1911, Mabel MacGinnis is Europe’s strongest woman and has performed beside her father in the Manzo Brothers Circus her entire life. When he dies unexpectedly, she loses everything she’s ever known and sets off in the company of acrobat Jake Cunningham in hope of finding the mother she thought was dead.

Isabella Moreau, America’s most feted aerialist, has given everything to the circus.

But age and injury now threaten her security, and Isabella, stalked by old fears, makes a choice that risks everything. Then her daughter Mabel appears alongside the man who never wanted to see Isabella again, and she is forced to face the truth of where, and in what, she derives her worth.

As Mabel and Isabella’s lives become entangled beneath the glittering lights and flying trapeze of Madison Square Garden, their resiliency and resolve are tested as they learn the truth of what it means to be strong.

So good

A great read with interesting characters set around the circus. An emotional story about broken families, forgiveness, and learning to be comfortable & confident in one’s skin. Loved the narration and the story.

So different and interesting!

I don’t see very many circus 🎪 books. This is my second one. I love that they’re not your typical love story. They take me into a fun place with unique characters, and teach me neat facts abt circus life. They show me the unglamorous parts of circus life. All in all, I loved this story line. I didn’t want to stop listening. It’s a 13 hour book I listened to in abt 2 days. 😊
