Never before has the daughter of a great magician written with such candor and beauty about magic's backstage—and onstage—world, where even the most outlandish dreams are possible.

The Magician’s Daughter: A Memoir is an award-winning coming-of-age story set within the motion and light of a traveling magic show. Fourteen-year-old Katy is the daughter of a professional magician stuck behind a desk in the suburbs. When he decides to hit the road with her mother in a grand bid to be a Las Vegas headliner, Katy is thrilled to be in the spotlight despite all its costs. Penn & Teller meets Mission Impossible as troubles mount on tour, and Katy struggles to understand the perennial power of magic on stage and off.
