The author did some heavy research for this book. I love it. Goes back and forth between a nursing home and life in the circus. Jacob's parents are killed in an accident a week before he graduates vet school. The bank ends up with the family home and its furnishings as his father, also a vet, had been taking payment in chickens and potatoes and had taken out a loan to keep Jacob in college. He ends up walking out of his final exam and hopping a train, which ends up being a circus train. He goes to work for them where he befriends a midgit, a monkey, and an elephant, and falls in love with a (married) equestrian. Great story!
