<p><strong>An ounce of courage.</strong></p><p><strong>A leap of faith.</strong></p><p><strong>Together, they propel two young women to chase a new life--one that's reimagined from what they might have become.</strong></p><p>In turn-of-the-century America, a young girl dreams of a world that stretches beyond the confi nes of a quiet life on the family farm. With little more than her wit and a cigar box of treasures, Mable steps away from all she knows, seeking the limitless marvels of the Chicago World's Fair. There, a chance encounter triggers her destiny--a life with a famed showman by the name of John Ringling.</p><p>A quarter of a century later, Lady Rosamund Easling boards a ship to America as a last adventure before her arranged marriage. There, the twenties are roaring, and the rich and famous gather at opulent, Gatsby-esque parties. The Jazz Age has arrived, and with it, the golden era of the American circus, whose queen is none other than the enigmatic Mable Ringling.</p><p>When Rosamund's path crosses with Mable's and the Ringlings' glittering world, she makes the life-altering decision to leave behind a comfortable future of estates and propriety, choosing instead the nomadic life of a trick rider in the Ringling Brothers' circus.</p><p>A novel that is at once captivating, deeply poignant, and swirling with exquisite historical details of a bygone world, <em>The Ringmaster's Wife </em>will escort readers into the center ring, with its bright lights, exotic animals, and a dazzling performance that can only be described as the Greatest Show on Earth!</p><p>"Vibrant with the glamour and awe that flourished under the Big Top in the 1920s, <em>The Ringmaster's Wife </em>invites the reader [into] the Greatest Show on Earth." --Joanne Bischof, award-winning author of <em>The Lady and the Lionheart</em></p>
