When children run past the brightly painted little caravan they sign with envy. They would love to spend all their time at the fairground. But they don't know what it's like behind the scenes. Rosalie, who lives in the caravan, knows that her life is not pretty or exciting. Rosalie has to work very hard as part of her father's acting company. She has to keep going, keep smiling and keep pretending just to keep everyone happy. One day Rosalie and her mother are given a beautiful picture of a shepherd holding a lamb. Rosalie is told about the great love of Jesus who longs to look after her just as a shepherd looks after his lambs. What does the future hold for Rosalie. Will she trust in God? Will she find a real home? Find out for yourself as O.F. Walton gives you 'A peep behind the scenes'. --Back cover.
