Escape the Pit to the Palace

by Jill Orr

From the perpetual mind of one of the enormously creative 21st Century writers comes the highly anticipated novel of the 20th Century, Escaping the Pit to the Palace. It cleverly weaves historical events with intrigue, mystery, and even a little romance in the Holocaust era. Who could imagine in such horrendous times a circus could exist, let alone, provide a fortress for victimized Jews. Allow Monique's zeal for life to encourage you to overcome every obstacle and pursue your life-long dreams. Recognize this narrow tight-rope, because it may be the very opportunity you need to reach up and take hold of your own destiny.
