Summary:

Ismeralda Brighton has been in the Circus for as long as she can remember...which isn't long at all. Her memory only goes back a couple of years, and she doesn't know why. It's only when she meets a strange person on top of the train car that she begins realizing things aren't as they should be.

Through these visits and many more after that, in which this stranger tells her about herself, Izzy realizes that none of it makes sense.

Something to do with me, the circus, and a whole lot of ribbons.”
