Description
Billy's only solace comes from his pet kestrel, to which he lavishes all the tenderness he has never known. This poignant story explores the struggles of a young boy growing up in a community that fails him.
Neglected by his mother, beaten up by his brother and bullied on all sides, Billy finds comfort in the gentle nature of his kestrel. But as the years pass, it becomes clear that this fragile bond may not be enough to save him from the hardships of life.
