At fifteen, Faith Duckle was lured under the bleachers by a
bunch of boys and brutally attacked. Now, almost a year later, a
newly thin Faith is haunted by her past and by the flippant, cruel
ghost of her formerly fat self who is bent on revenge.
Faith eventually turns to violence for retribution, forcing her
to flee home in search of the only friend she has -- a troubled but
caring busboy who is the lover of a sideshow performer -- and to
tumble into the colorful, transient world of the circus. But as she
dives headfirst into a world of adult passions and dreams,
mercurial allegiances, and exhilarating self-discovery, Faith must
also face some disturbing truths about herself and the world around
her.
