Behind the lights of the fair and the painted smiles of the little theatre, Rosalie’s life is far from the happy dream others imagine.
Only twelve years old, Rosalie travels from town to town with her father’s show, dancing on the stage by night and caring for her sick mother in their cramped caravan by day. To the crowds, her life seems charming and free. But behind the scenes are weariness, loneliness, poverty, and a little girl longing for love, rest, and home.
Then a simple picture of the Good Shepherd carrying a lost lamb awakens hope in Rosalie’s heart. As sorrow deepens and the road grows darker, she learns that there is One who seeks the lost, comforts the weary, and leads His lambs to green pastures.
A Look Behind the Scenes, originally published as A Peep Behind the Scenes, is a tender Christian classic by Mrs. O. F. Walton—a moving story of suffering, faith, and the gentle love of the Savior for even the smallest and most forgotten child.
