Amanda returns to St. Finnian's after a dance with a black widow spider in the Hall of Mirrors at Uriah's Otherworld. Abram finds his horse really is his social worker. Eliza encounters ghosts on the third floor of the hospital who read voraciously, are bored out of their minds and just want to go home. What will happen when Corvus comes to finish the work of Larry Hale? The lovers escaped the tunnel of love - but can they escape the past? And what about little Blessed what's-her-name? There is a star, twinkling in a world full of carnivals, circuses, nightmares, dreams and always...all-ways Yahweh.

Amanda Jane Kehoe is in for the ride of her life. A survivor of trauma, Amanda enters Uriah's Otherworld and discovers an angelic barker who writes Psalms, a nine foot grasshopper who doubles as a writer and a boyfriend who hears animals talking to him. Three teens befriend one another at St. Finnian's Psychiatric Hospital, living in a place known to all the children as "The Circus." Will they outsmart Larry Hale or be stuck in the Tunnel of Love for all eternity? Carosella is a skirmish between alternate realities versus delusion, psychic ability versus hallucination, and medicine versus miracle. The question posed is: "Are you extraordinary because you are a freak or a freak because you are extraordinary?"
