Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people talk about running away to join the carnival-but Phyllis Horne really did it. At 14, she was stuck in a home where abuse and alcoholism were the norm so she headed out to find something better. Living under a bridge, Horne was taken in by carnies-carnival workers-who showed her the ways of the carnies' gypsy life. Soon Horne was traveling from city to city, relishing her new career and gathering stories as she went. But working for the carnival wasn't all fun and games-Horne endured brushes with the law, broken relationships and family trials. But she rose above those challenges to eventually own her own businesses and earn a comfortable retirement in Idaho. A master storyteller, Horne will charm you with her absorbing tales of the carneys lifestyle and her rise to success. You will be inspired to realize anyone-even a young runaway at the carnival-can experience the American dream. Your life will be changed! Jesus picked a Italian Mafia boyfriend to be one of my angle in my life. A true love story. 2nd. addition.
