In 1924, four-year-old Cecily Larsons mother reluctantly drops her off at an orphanage in Chicago, promising to be back once shes made enough money to support both Cecily and herself. But she never returns, and shortly after high-spirited Cecily turns seven, she is sold to a traveling circus to perform as the "little sister" to glamorous bareback rider Isabelle DuMonde. With Isabelle and the rest of the circus, Cecily finally feels shes found the family she craves. But as the years go by, the cracks in her little world begin to show. And when teenage Cecily meets and falls in love with a young roustabout named Lucky, she finds her life thrown onto an entirely unexpected--and dangerous--course. In 2015, Cecily is now 94 and living a quiet life in Itasca, Minnesota, with her daughter Liz, granddaughter Molly, and great-grandson Caden. But when her family decides to surprise her with an at-home DNA test, the unexpected results not only bring to light the tragic love story that Cecily has kept hidden for decades but also throw into question everything about the family shes raised and claimed as her own for nearly seventy years. Cecily and everyone in her life must now decide who they really are and what family--and forgiveness--really mean. Sweeping through a long period of contemporary history, The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson is an immersive, compelling, and entertaining family drama centered around one remarkable woman and her determination to survive. 521 $a Adult. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Circus $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Playaway. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Campbell, Cassandra, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA37B5D0F63611EE80258AC022ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
