Potentially Triggering Content in the Novel
Parents and readers in general should also be aware that there is content of a more sensitive nature in The Key to Circus-Mom Highway (in the mother’s history as told in brief flashbacks), so please be aware of this in terms of readers under the age of 15, or anyone who might be triggered by the theme of sexual assault.
