#3.5 Bold Women of the 19th Century
Sawdust Phantoms
A "Bold Woman" short, this novelette is for fans of historical fiction with a bit of a love story. A macabre assortment of outcasts was Devi Malik’s first taste of America. Kidnapped from India and forced to dance and grant sexual favors in a little “mud show” circus, she just had to escape. But who would help her in this nightmare world of sideshow pariahs? A major player in the novel, The House of Five Fortunes, Devi Malik is indeed a bold woman.
