Kerry Chaput’s Wild as the Stars is a glittering adventure into the dark world of theater. Perfect for fans of The Greatest Showman, this mother-daughter saga brings the roaring twenties to life with magical twists and vivid details. Pick up your copy of this enthralling tale of legacy and love.

Seattle, 1925. Dishwasher Eleanora dreams of performing magic tap dance. Sure, she can conjure fire, but that talent remains buried thanks to Prohibition, which has banned booze and magic, and the devastating panic attacks that knock her unconscious every time she takes the stage. Unable to quiet her calling, Eleanora lands an audition at The Luminaire, the only theater where magic flows freely and the same stage where her mother famously brought fire dance to the masses before her death in an asylum.

With her new troupe, Eleanora fights her panic and the unfair laws to regain her birthright, but the vicious theater owner creates a show that stokes the public’s fear and threatens to shut down fire dance forever. Eleanora must protect everyone she loves by giving the performance of a lifetime—even if that means risking the same tragic fate as her mother.

Review for Wild as the Stars

If you’re in the mood for something totally unique—think Prohibition-era speakeasies with a magical twist—this book delivers. Set in 1920s Seattle, the story dances (literally) through the lives of Eleanora and her mother, Fiona, two fiery women who can actually set the stage ablaze with their magical dance powers. From washing dishes to dancing at the only safe haven for magical performers—The Luminaire—Eleanora’s journey is full of suspense, emotion, and more than a few surprises.

Told through both Eleanora’s and Fiona’s points of view, you’ll uncover a story full of hidden truths, found family, and fighting for your place in a world that fears what it doesn’t understand. There’s drama, healing, sisterhood, and a strong message about embracing who you are—even when it feels dangerous. With a touch of glitz, a lot of grit, and literal sparks, this historical magical realism tale is definitely worth the read. If you love stories with heart, history, and a bit of heat, add this to your TBR ASAP!
