Marilyn Brokaw Hall awoke from a dream and was so touched by it she immediately wrote it down to share with her family. An evil Ring Master of a traveling circus show was collecting children from innocent farm families. As she began to write, and the story unfolded, she followed the clues the Ring Master left for her. First she traveled to Hazard, Kentucky, then to Narrows, Virginia and finally to the outskirts of New Salem, Pennsylvania where he left the biggest clue. Marilyn lives in Central, Ohio near Columbus with her husband, and enjoys spending time with her two adult children.
