Summary:
When
Anna
Swan
came into the world, people chattered. They whispered over tea and gossiped across fences. Because even when she was small,
Anna
was tall. By the time she was four, she'd risen higher than a rain barrel. At six, she was taller than her mother. By ten, she towered over her father. And still she grew, always feeling she did not fit into her world. But
Anna
had dreams that matched her height she imagined a life of travel and adventure. At seventeen, she moved to New York City to join P.T. Barnum's Gallery of Wonders. And it was there that
Anna
's world began to grow.
