The Circle That Fits

Under the constant lights of the carnival, Daniel and his parents travel the east coast selling funnel cakes. But after his mother disappears, Daniel becomes the sole caretaker of his father's nightmares. As the pressures of his father's increasing violence and the nagging mystery of his mother's disappearance build, Daniel begins to question his place in the carnival. Told in vignettes, The Circle That Fits unfolds the complexities of childhood with all of its magic, beauty, pain, and loneliness revolving like the spokes on a Ferris wheel.
