In response to a challenge to write a script in a month, author Marisa Williams penned The Stoney Carnival, a reality-based fictional memoir, in only three days. Exploring life behind the scenes in a carnival, readers are taken inside the carnival and put to work, finding out exactly how female carnies are viewed by society. Women's issues, sexual issues and drugs swirl to create a frenzied reality that could only be found in The Stoney Carnival.
