When We're Entwined

By Jody A. Kessler

Former circus performer and aerial gymnast, Tara, knows it's time to move on. Tired of the constant abuse and the emotional rollercoaster ride at home, she takes to the road to perform on stage with her boyfriend and his band, Paradox 21.

Unfortunately, Tara could never imagine her boyfriend's ultimate betrayal leaves her jobless, homeless, and broke in a city far from home.

Unable to reach out to her unstable mother and abusive stepfather, Tara has nowhere to go.

Her rescue comes in the form of a knight in disguise and a punk named Corban. Tara must begin again. Her journey leads to a traveling sideshow and a new job with The Circus of Misfit Marvels.

Throughout the summer, Tara records her most embarrassing, profound, and soul-searching moments in her journal but she also finds immeasurable strength and wisdom within herself.

"When We're Entwined is a gripping, emotional modern-day adventure with a glimpse of alternative lifestyles in America as one vibrant, young aerial gymnast realizes cruelty and injustice can be outweighed by kindness, humor, and compassion with the help of a most unlikely and wildly colorful cast of characters."

"An unforgettable adventure of self-discovery."

Trigger warning: physical and emotional abuse, adult language.
