Percilla’s parents brought her to New York City on several occasions seeking answers from American doctors.

From bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward Humes comes a dramatic story of faith, science, and courage unlike any since the famous Scopes Monkey Trial.With these carnivals, circuses and fairs slowly dying, this soon might be the only place to see these treasures of youthful fun and outdoor entertainment growth.
