Dr. Amelia Payne, a veterinarian and educational writer, no longer defines herself as the daughter of a clown and deceased mime. By age fifty, Amelia has built a successful life in a place where the past will never find her.....or so she hopes. When a childhood friend tracks her down hoping to locate a missing bracelet he promised his father he'd find, Amelia is spiralled back into the thick of eccentric characters that colored her youth. Amelia is shockingly familiar with the lost bracelet and the search that ensues uncovers the past Amelia thought she knew, reveals secrets she never could have known, and unveils a truth she finally comes to know. Also uncovered to Amelia's angst is her missing mother, Maize the Clown.
