What is revealed when you draw back the curtain of the Greatest Show on Earth?
Rosamund
Easling is no stranger to opulence. As the daughter of an earl, she’s
grown up with every comfort money can buy. But when hard times befall
the family’s Yorkshire estate in the aftermath of the Great War,
Rosamund’s father sells her beloved horse, setting the stage for a
series of events that would extend beyond even her wildest dreams.
Though
expected to marry for a title instead of love, Rosamund feels called to
a different life – one of adventure outside the confines of a ladies’
parlor. She abandons all she’s known and follows in pursuit as her horse
is shipped to the new owner – an American entertainer by the name of
John Ringling. Once introduced to the Ringling Brothers’ circus and
knowing she has much to learn, Rosamund agrees to a bareback riding
apprenticeship in the shadow of the Ringlings’ winter home—Ca’D’Zan. It
is at that mansion, in what would become the last days of the enigmatic
Mable Ringling’s life, that Rosamund finds a deeper sense of purpose in
the life she’s been given, and the awakening of faith in her heart.
With
a supporting cast of characters as mysterious and dazzling as the
Ringlings’ big-top world, Rosamund’s journey takes her from the
tradition of the English countryside to the last days of America’s
Roaring ‘20s—a journey that forever changes what one life might have
been.
I have an extra copy of this book and I am going to give it away. To enter tell me your favorite act at the circus along with your email address and I will use a randomizer to choose the winner. You must be a follower of my blog to enter. I will choose the winner on August 5th.
Thanks, and Good Luck!

Can't wait to see what everyone would like to do in the circus! Me? I'd have been a circus artist, designing and painting circus posters, wagons, sets and props. How cool would that be?! ;) Best wishes for all who enter!

I'm not a big fan of the circus, but I do like the acrobats.
I've never been to a circus. I would enjoy seeing the horses with their talented riders.

I chose a winner but they never responded so, I am going to choose another winner. You will have 24 hours to respond to my email giving me your mailing address. Thanks!
Just curious, who was your winner? :-)
Actually, Trixi you were, originally. I emailed you on Friday at 12:46pm mountain time, waited all weekend for you to respond thinking you may have gotten caught up in the Olympics. When I still had not received any response I chose,Caryl,and mailed the book today.
I was?? Oh goodness gracious, I didn't get any email!! :-( I even just checked my spam mail folder but didn't see anything there either. I certainly would have responded right away....I am so sorry!! :-( I also made sure I posted the email address correctly on here and I did. I'm not sure what happened or why I didn't get any notification. Again, I am so very sorry!!
I'm sorry too! Must have gotten lost in the internet waste land. LOL Keep your eyes peeled I am going to offer up other books for giveaway.
I'll be sure to keep my eye posted here for next time a book pops up I'd like to have, thanks Andie! :-)
