Learning to fly

A book on the art of the flying trapeze and the spiritual well-being it generates. The author took up the sport at the age of 61 and teaches it to recovering drug addicts, offering them more healthy kicks.

First sentence: Seventeen years later, in 1993, on an October evening, I was sitting comfortably at home flipping through the television channels and I heard the local news anchor say, Did you ever dream of running away with the circus?
