Byrd is a contemporary novel about a woman who bears and surrenders a son, her only child, without telling his father, little imagining how the secret will shape their lives. Through letters and spare, precisely observed vignettes, the book examines how a 33-year-old birth mother comes to make, and live with, the most difficult, intimate, and far reaching of choices.
