Could a hundred-year-old circus sideshow be the key to Frankie’s mysterious past?

Seventeen-year-old Frankie doesn’t trust easily. Not others and not even herself. Found in an alley when she was a child, she has no memory of who she is or why she was left there. Recurring dreams about a hundred-year-old carnival sideshow, a performer known as Alligator Girl, and a man named Monsieur Duval have an eerie familiarity to them.
Frankie gets drawn deeper into Alligator Girl’s world and the secrets that keep the performers bound together. But a startling encounter with Monsieur Duval when she’s awake makes Frankie wonder what’s real and what’s in her head.

As Frankie’s and Alligator Girl’s stories unfold, Frankie’s life takes a sharp turn. Are the dreams her way of working through her trauma or is there a more sinister plan at work? And if there is, does she have the strength to fight it?

“Stacy Gonzalez narrates an inventive paranormal story about a teenage foster child. … Gonzalez deftly portrays the characters, seamlessly moving between a variety of accents and personalities; however, her sibilance can distract the listener. Nonetheless, her performance of Frankie embodies the teen and captures the wide range of emotions she experiences throughout the story.”—AudioFile
