Opis

In a burgeoning metropolis, in the land of opportunity, on the cusp of a new century, Helen and George Miller live what no one would consider "fairy tale" lives. Sold by their parents to a mysterious dwarf, they escape, only to be captured and imprisoned by a sadistic old fortuneteller, who runs a candy shop and freak show at a seaside amusement park. With the aid of Bernard the Wolf Boy, they escape again, but not unscathed. From poverty, through war and plague, on to the prosperity of the jazz age, George, Helen, and Bernard become inextricably bound in a tangled web of love and friendship. Can they find within themselves the courage, kindness, and love that will redeem them? In this city, in this century, where all things seem possible, can any of them find happily ever after?
