The greatest friend he ever had. The devastating summer that changed it all...
Brooklyn, 1945. Jewish teen Isaac Sawicki and his best buddy Billy are the perfect troublemaking pair. For three years, Isaac and his German-American pal defy a broken social order with mischief and mayhem. But it tears asunder his heart when Billy is murdered, and Isaac attracts accusations that will torment him for decades...
Now an adult and seeking closure, Isaac relives his friend's fateful last days, ending with a bloody encounter in the woods and his grief-stricken attempt to drown it out the only way he knows how. From baseball and war games to sexual awakenings and shared secrets, Isaac rediscovers the loyal friendship that leaves an indelible imprint on his being.
Will his journey through the past offer the healing and redemption he craves?
My Friend Billy is the first book in The Machination Trilogy of thought-provoking literary fiction. If you like deep character insights, teenage rebellion, and wry humor, then you'll love Gary S. Brayshaw's profound tale.
Read My Friend Billy to explore the depths of connection between young people who are not quite adults but no longer children..
