CLOUDY

Coming of Age in a 1920s World of Jazz, Circus and Revolution

​

This is your invitation to explore the rich and exotic times of the 1920s as viewed by Lilah a.k.a. Kathleen, on the verge of womanhood, in Sarasota Florida as it transforms into a circus community at the behest of entrepreneur, John Ringling. She soon discovers that the wide world is not as she hoped. Raised without a mother, she finds her way to the Caribbean, joins in a revolution and soon realizes that a set of seemingly random and terrifying incidents are connected and they all center around her. Why? What has she done to elicit the mysterious pursuit? And will it ever stop?

 

Along the way you will encounter fascinating historical people, including many notable women who blazed new trails in their fields. If you enjoy history, an extensive appendix awaits you with more details on the real people she meets, including salty sailors, Cuban ritualists and high flying circus stars. In addition, you may enjoy this as a colorful travelogue as she searches the world for answers to an uncertain future.

 

Is there more going on outside each of our own small worlds? Inhabitants of Earth have always been connected, influencing one another in subtle or not so subtle ways. We share one sphere rotating in endless space, covered with swirling clouds that pass over all of us with no attention to borders, watching the same stories repeated over and over again. Have we learned anything yet?
