The Tumbling Turner Sisters

<b>For fans of <i>Orphan Train</i> and <i>Water for Elephants</i>, a compelling historical novel from "one of the best authors of women's fiction" (<i>Library Journal</i>). Set against the turbulent backdrop of American Vaudeville, four sisters embark on an unexpected adventure--and a last-ditch effort to save their family.</b> <p>It's 1919, and the Turners are barely scraping by. When their father loses his job, their irrepressible mother decides that vaudeville is their best chance to make the rent--and create a more exciting life for herself in the process. </p><p>Traveling by train from town to town, teenagers Gert, Winnie, and Kit, and recent widow Nell soon find a new kind of freedom in the company of performers who are as diverse as their acts. There is a seamier side to the business, however, and the young women face dangers and turns of fate they never could have anticipated. Heartwarming and surprising, <i>The Tumbling Turner Sisters</i> is ultimately a story of awakening--to unexpected possibilities, to love and heartbreak, and to the dawn of a new American era.</p>
