Pavees–or travelers–are also known as Irish gypsies. We meet them through the eyes of Christy, an 11 year old boy full of sadness and guilt over the death of his ma. When his grandfather dies, Christy begins a search for identity that has him delving into family secret and a past he can't recapture.
