Hey all, this is my First story ever and I hope you find it and enjoy it. :)

Maddy shivered as she pulled her coat higher. She was walking through the cold dark streets of Illinois, as rain pelted her back. Jeremiah had told her that he got a new job with a travelling circus, The Benzini brothers, and she had to pack as they were now travelers.

Maddy never wanted this life, she always thought she would do something with herself, after all her parents harassed her to meeting a gentleman that would care and provide for her so she could be a stay at home mum. The Great Depression that hit didn't help matters. She had been working at a local food market while Jeremiah went from one job to the next.

Maddy stood outside in the dark staring the the train with all the circus equipment, and with a deep breath she prepared herself for what was to come.
