Short description
In this touchingly weird and wonderful story, veterinarian Amelia Payne is unwillingly drawn into the carnival world of her youth, where she not only finds her missing charm bracelet--a family heirloom that spells out D E A R E S T in gemstones--but is reunited with Maize the Clown, the mother who abandoned her.Extended description
Amelia's traumatic past as the daughter of circus performers is stirred up when childhood friend Claude Croft tracks her down and implores help in recovering a bracelet he promised his dying father he would find. Gripped by her own connection to a similar bracelet, Amelia joins Claude on a wild adventure looking for the missing jewelry. But what she discovers is far more than what she bargained for.Tags

on Dec. 22, 2012 :
In a smart, quirky voice Marshall blends mystery, humor, and romance into a delightful tale to entertain readers aged teen to senior. Featuring a strong-willed female protagonist, off-beat characters, and nuggets of homespun wisdom wrapped into a storyline that speaks to difficulties we all face in trying to comprehend the absurdities of life and the complexities of family/relationships. A lighthearted story with a dark-comic twist, in short, Dearest is a fun read!
