Her Mother's hair was flame red with curls tight to her head, but with the circus in town there were too many red heads to pick her out.

Behind a glass ball was an old woman, wrinkled from the long years, she rested beneath a olive cloak and croaked with a voice like a paper in the whistling wind, "Would you like to see your mommy, Sophie?"
