Product Description
"A warm-hearted, readable story, crammed with lively incident and remarkable characters."
THE ATLANTIC
David Harper was an orphan, loney and impoverished. But his longing to embrace the world that abandoned him was stronger than the harsh realities. And even though he's a con man and petty thief at a carnival, he still dreams. For it was there that David learned about love and about women--all of whom taught him the riches of himself.
Here is a rich segment of American life--a magic blend of longing and wisdom, saltiness, simplicity, and compassion.

Woodrow Proveaux (USA: GA) (2013/05/24):
The book was long and wordy, and did not seem like a "Michener Book"! It was an O.K. story, but not what I expected - more like "Catcher in the Rye".
