520    In 1919, the Turner sisters and their parents are barely 
       scraping by. Their father is a low-paid boot-stitcher in 
       Johnson City, New York, and the family is always one 
       paycheck away from eviction. When their father’s hand is 
       crushed and he can no longer work, their irrepressible 
       mother decides that the vaudeville stage is their best—and
       only—chance for survival.  Traveling by train from town to
       town, teenagers Gert, Winnie, and Kit, and recent widow 
       Nell soon find a new kind of freedom in the company of 
       performers who are as diverse as their acts. There is a 
       seamier side to the business, however, and the young women
       face dangers and turns of fate they never could have 
       anticipated. Heartwarming and surprising, The Tumbling 
       Turner Sisters is ultimately a story of awakening—to 
       unexpected possibilities, to love and heartbreak, and to 
       the dawn of a new American era.
