A Circus Without Elephants: A Memoir - Softcover

"Maralys Wills unwittingly becomes the ringmaster of an eight-sport family--an exuberant troupe of five boys and a girl that discovers joy and laughter in offbeat creations like double-decker bicycles and primitive hang gliders.

When tragedy strikes, she and her family must summon great reserves of humor and the courage to move on"--p. [4] of cover.
