The Tumbling Turner Sisters: A Novel

For fans of Orphan Train and Water for Elephants, a compelling historical novel from â€œone of the best authors of womenâ€™s fictionâ€ (Library Journal). Set against the turbulent backdrop of American Vaudeville, four sisters embark on an unexpected adventureâ€”and a last-ditch effort to save their family.

Itâ€™s 1919, and the Turners are barely scraping by. When their father loses his job, their irrepressible mother decides that vaudeville is their best chance to make the rentâ€”and create a more exciting life for herself in the process.

Traveling by train from town to town, teenagers Gert, Winnie, and Kit, and recent widow Nell soon find a new kind of freedom in the company of performers who are as diverse as their acts. There is a seamier side to the business, however, and the young women face dangers and turns of fate they never could have anticipated. Heartwarming and surprising, The Tumbling Turner Sisters is ultimately a story of awakeningâ€”to unexpected possibilities, to love and heartbreak, and to the dawn of a new American era.
