My Life as a Carnie

Rachel Peterson had a normal life. Her mom baked cookies, her dad was embarrassing, her little brother annoyed her, and their golden retriever always obeyed. It all seemed great until her perfect life came tumbling down around her. The day of her 18th birthday she discovered her mothers heroin addiction. It seemed like Rach's life was going down hill and fast. Since she can't go to her mom for guidance she decides to do something totally different; run away and join a carnival crew that travels around the Midwest.
