Set from the turbulent backdrop of American vaudeville, four sisters attempt an unexpected trip - and a last-ditch work to save their family. In 1919 the Turner sisters and their parents are hardly scraping by. Their dad is a low-paid boot stitcher in Johnson City, NY, and the family is always one salary from eviction. When their father's hands is smashed and he can no longer work, their irrepressible mother determines that the vaudeville stage is their best - in support of - opportunity for survival. Traveling by coach from town to town, teenagers Gert, Winnie, and Kit and recent widow Nell soon find a fresh kind of independence together with performers who are as diverse as their acts. There is a seamier side to the business enterprise, however, and the young women face problems and converts of destiny they never may have anticipated. Heartwarming and astonishing, The Tumbling Turner Sisters is ultimately a story of awakening - to surprising options, to love and heartbreak, also to the dawn of a fresh American era.
