Featured in Amazon.com's Best Books of 2018.\n\u2018Every day we put fire and swords and electricity into our bodies, throw knives at them, contort them, wrap them in snakes, and every day we wake up sure those things won\u2019t harm us but also sure that there is so much else that will.\u2019 When her mother had a series of strokes, Tessa Fontaine couldn\u2019t stand to watch her mother disappear. The Electric Woman tells Tessa\u2019s story of joining America\u2019s last travelling freak show, and learning to perform death-defying acts in order to come to terms with her mother\u2019s illness. In her life-affirming memoir, Tessa finds hope and companionship among sword swallowers and snake charmers.\n\nThe Electric Woman\nA Memoir in Death-Defying Acts\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nFeatured in's Be;
