About this audiobook

Step right up and witness an entertaining world of action, intrigue, and exploration. It’s 1982, and Paul Driscoll is fate’s punching bag. His father recently died, he gets fired from his job, and his girlfriend dumps him. Desperate for money, the 23-year-old copywriter becomes a promoter with a traveling circus—and in his first town, falls in love. Katherine Flynn-Ryan is a divorced mother harboring a dark family secret. Although she knows the circus man will leave her, he promises to return after the season. Paul travels America with angry clowns, wild, eccentric characters, and egomaniacal performers. He struggles remaining faithful while resisting the aggressive pursuit of his boss and taming his libido. When he finishes his circus tour and returns to Katherine, Paul learns their relationship could cost him his life. Sawdust: Love is wilder than a circus crackles with unforgettable characters and humor, plus revealing insights into circus life, the male psyche, and explorations of faith and self-discovery.
