Description
Ireland, 1959. Young Christopher Hurley travels with his tinker family, the Pavee, from town to town in their wagons. He carries guilt from his mother's death in childbirth. When his grandfather dies, his father decides they will settle briefly in a town so Christy and his cousin can attend school and prepare for communion. But they are always seen as outsiders. Christy questions his identity and belonging as he navigates this new world. The discovery of an old photograph and a secret from his mother's past alters his life.
