Balancing Act: Memoir of a Florida Youth

This is a survival story of a woman harboring parental and sexual abuse from her Sarasota childhood only to marry a middle-aged clown who stiffled her emotionally. Determination and a keen sense of balance piloted her through her teens, the circus, parenting, and furthering her education. She shares insights from Ringling Circus, Clown College, and the perils of aerial work.
