Excellent Book!

This book was written from the heart and is a very honest, forthright account of the Wallenda family spanning several generations. There are lots of photos included and the book has all the little details you'll want to know about all of the Wallendas. I saw the Wallendas for the first time in St. Louis in June 2008 and was captivated at not only their performance, but how close they all are to each other. Yes, they are very talented, but they credit God with giving them their gifts and with keeping them safe during their performances. They are very down to earth, standing outside the tents greeting patrons after each performance. Tino was even so gracious as to sign a copy of the book for me after one of the performances! This book would be a perfect gift for someone who loves the Wallendas or who enjoys biographies. I highly recommend it!
