Billy+Creekmore

 __**Billy Creekmore**__ **by Tracey Porter** Billy lives an interesting life. The story begins with him in an orphanage, thinking he had been the cause of his mother's death. He occasionally receives postcards from his long-lost father from places all over the country, but he's never met his father. Just as he's about to go to the glassworks and begin a life of hard labor, his uncle shows up and takes him to a small mining town in West Virginia where he trains to be a mule skinner in the mines. After that, he becomes a circus promoter and a circus performer. Just where will his life lead him next?
