When seventeen-year-old Vandemere (Vandy) Petruska performs under the big top, he carries his Romanian mother's Tarot magic in his heart and a debt he can't yet name. The drought is biblical, the horses are restless, and the circus owner's son has a personal vendetta against him that burns as hot as the Oklahoma sun. Vandemere is a story about spiritual inheritance — of land, of language, and the unfathomable cruelties we leave to those who dare to follow in our footsteps.

Kimberley D. Tait grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario. She writes about people who carry their grandparents' weather -- the storms that came through three generations ago and never quite left. Her novels have been called magical realism, and she'll take it, though they are really just honest stories about people and places where the line between what happened and what should have happened became the ghosts that haunt every corner of our lives.
Currently, Kimberley D. Tait lives near Orangeville, Ontario. She owns a cranky car, is surrounded by a stack of unfinished drafts, and has been blessed with a lifetime spent in the company of horses. When she's not writing, she is walking or biking the nearby trails or sitting by a stream with her nose in a book.

In this beautifully written coming of age story set in 1930s America. Vandemere Petruska, a trick rider of Gypsy origin, is torn between his mother's psychic magic and his father's pragmatic approach. I would recommend this to those that stories are not the usual fantasy! I will be starting book 2 today!
