PAT REDDEMANN was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to a poor but loving family of gypsies who carried wood from town to town, turning it for profit whenever they could.

After hundreds of misadventures, Pat finally ran away to join the Circe de Soleil, but they wouldn't accept someone from Wisconsin.

So, she continued on her quest of righteousness, finally settling in the parched desert of Tucson, where she scrounges for wood and tickets to the local movie theater.
