Overview
"After discovering that the all-female performing troupe founded by her mother is out of money, Sophie Hamilton decides to spearhead one last effort to keep the show alive. They travel to a ramshackle theater in New York City and attempt to build their show from the ground up. Sophie finds herself torn between the troupe that has been her family and her entire world for twenty years and the pull of the outside world, particularly in the form of Samuel Ackermann, the son of one of the upholsterers working on the theater while the ladies prepare their show. ln the end, Sophie chooses to stay with the troupe and help it blossom into something new and wonderful, rather than give up that life for a more "normal" one." -- Abstract
