The events are fascinating."-J.RobinsonPerhaps the greatest gift a parent or grandparent can give a child is the gift of self-confidence. It is 1932, the worst year of the Depression, a bleak time of low hopes and Galen Ferris is 12, beset by all the fears and insecurities of a young girl about to enter adolescence. Understanding this, Galen's great-grandmother, Margaret Duggan, begins to tell Galen the story of her adventures as a young girl... tales that are derided by Galen's step-mother as wild fantasies by an old woman. They are tales of fantastic adventure across Canada and the United States; the story of a girl determined to achieve her goal to become a bareback rider in a circus.
