This is an excellent book. In 1904, 12 year old Orphelia Bruce dreams of becoming a musical star- and she has the talent to make her dream come true. Her biggest obstacle is Momma, who forbids her to perform anywhere but church in tiny Calico Creek, Missouri. When Orphelia 's idol, Madame Meritta, comes to town with her traveling minstrel show, Orphelia runs away with the troupe, hoping to perform at the St. Louis Fair! On the road, Orphelia learns about show business- and some haunting secrets about her family's past.
