520 1 $a"Follow sixteen-year-old Faith Duckle in this audacious and darkly funny tale as she moves through the difficult journey from the schoolyard to the harlequin world of the circus. At fifteen, Faith was lured under the bleachers by a bunch of boys at a football game and raped. Now, almost a year later, a newly thin Faith is haunted by her past, and by the cruel, flippant ghost of her formerly fat self, who is bent on revenge.".
520 8 $a"This quest for retribution eventually compels Faith to violence, forcing her to flee home in search of the only friend she has - a troubled but caring busboy named Charlie, who is the lover of a sideshow performer - and to tumble into the colorful, transient world of the circus.
520 8 $aBut as she leaves her old life behind and dives headfirst into a world of adult passions and dreams, mercurial allegiances, and exhilarating self-discovery (while paying considerable dues with a shovel in the elephant tent), Faith ultimately begins to discover who she is and all that she is capable of."--BOOK JACKET.
