Gadjo an Oddyssey: The Beginning

How many times in your life have you said to yourself, “I wish I could run away and join the circus?” Well, that’s exactly what Jim Bovay did. An Volume The Beginning is the first of four books telling Jim’s story. The Beginning takes the reader into the world of gymnastics in the 1960s. Growing up in a rough part of town, Jim finds himself intertwined with the area’s toughs, using unorthodox means to learn. He lives, eats and breathes gymnastics with enthusiasm that borders on obsession. Then, a building and a man with stories of the circus ignite a passion that will ultimately consume Jim’s Olympic goal and send him on his odyssey into the world of the circus. The reader will experience the excitement, disappointments, the determination and drive that it takes to become an athlete of extraordinary ability in a unique world of egos and unusual personalities.
