Publisher's Synopsis
Isa is the product of a GI from Kansas City and a prostitute mother, and Thai society can be cruel to those not of pure breeding - they are called |bird-shit| foreigners. Tossed out by his family, the struggling gay teen learns to live on the street with a local gang before ultimately finding refuge with a local clergyman and his family. Beautifully written, evocative of setting, here is fiction that truly touches the heart. From the acclaimed author of Bilal's Bread comes this searing portrait of an American-Thai young man struggling with his sexual identity.
