Author of Eddie’s Bastard William Kowalski tells the story Billy Man has spent his whole life wondering about his mother. One day, with all his possessions on his motorcycle, Billy Mann sets off on a cross-country odyssey from New York to Santa Fe in search of a mother who deserted him long ago. What Billy discovers, however, is a life rich with possibility: the chance for love, friendship, and, finally, a family to call his own.
