Calliope "Calli" Tiller's family has a bizarre, atypical secret; one that she guards from the time she is a child. Calli's mother is a "Bearded Lady" in the sideshow and her father is a circus dwarf. Her kindred are, literally, a family-circus. Calli makes and remakes her life time and again, trying to manage her world and hide her obscure past. She attempts to lead a normal existence, but when her heart and mind are shattered by circumstances she cannot control she must find strength in the core of her being. Along the way she confronts violence, disease, abuse and discovers the meaning of true beauty. Her story is an unexpected adventure and a remarkable testament to love, family and the will to live.

"A moving story. Swejkoski paints Calli's peculiar life with artistic brush strokes; each page is full of emotion and sensitivity."
David W. Smith, Author of Hidden Mickey
