Synopsis
This inventive book has at its core a collection of linked short stories depicting the lives of sideshow oddities in an early twentieth-century carnival traveling through the rural south. While the fiction opens a door to another world, ultimately it invites readers to think differently about the world we inhabit and the universal need to belong, to experience redemption, to reclaim our imperfections as part of what makes us whole. An introductory essay frames the collection, inviting readers to consider more deeply how the socio-historical context and characters create metaphors for our own experience. The book concludes with a series of creative prompts to engage readers with the text so that the stories continue to unfold.

From the Publisher
A writer since childhood, Leaf Seligman’s life work centers on redemption, be it the college classes she teaches on forgiveness and reconciliation; the literary workshops she leads; the restorative practices she carries into schools, prisons, and community settings; or the sermons, stories, and essays she pens. She is also the author of Opening the Window: Sabbath Meditations and A Pocket Book of Prompts, both from Bauhan Publishing.
About the Author
Leaf Seligman began writing as a child in Tennessee. She graduated from the writing program at the University of New Hampshire, where she taught for thirteen years before pursuing pastoral ministry. A decade later, she happily returned to a writing-centered life in rural New Hampshire. In college, work, community, and prison settings, Seligman engages people with writing as a way to foster authenticity, deepen connection, and explore what matters.
