Description
Seattle, 1925. Dishwasher Eleanora dreams of performing magic tap dance. Sure, she can conjure fire, but that talent remains buried thanks to Prohibition, which has banned booze and magic, and the devastating panic attacks that knock her unconscious every time she takes the stage. Unable to quiet her calling, Eleanora lands an audition at The Luminaire, the only theater where magic flows freely and the same stage where her mother famously brought fire dance to the masses before her death in an asylum.
With her new troupe, Eleanora fights her panic and the unfair laws to regain her birthright, but the vicious theater owner creates a show that stokes the public's fear and threatens to shut down fire dance forever. Eleanora must protect everyone she loves by giving the performance of a lifetime-even if that means risking the same tragic fate as her mother.
Kerry Chaput's Wild as the Stars is a glittering adventure into the dark world of theater. Perfect for fans of The Greatest Showman, this mother-daughter saga brings the roaring twenties to life with magical twists and vivid details. Pick up your copy of this enthralling tale of legacy and love.
