On Billy Boy by Thomas J. Hubschman
Paperback ISBN: 096698773x
Publisher: Savvy Press US$ 15.95
This is a uniquely told story from a perspective most of us rarely consider. At first glance, Billy Conover is a morally handicapped, pill-popping, small-time criminal from the streets of New York City. He is an arrogant, self-serving bum. While I would not normally be concerned with what he is thinking, what criminal activities he’s engaged in, or his experiences with a whore who has mothered his children, I found myself unable to stop reading. It is a great writer who can make me care about the destiny of such a young man..
It is after years of living a self-destructive life that Billy discovers that he has reason to become a better man. For the first time since his father died, Billy Conover has a reason to get up and make something of himself, maybe even get off the drugs. Unfortunately, at that same time, he is about to be brought under trial for a murder he didn’t commit and the evidence is stacked firmly against him. Will his troubled past determine his ultimate fate?
In the end, Billy Conover does have the chance to redeem himself and to, for probably the first time in his life, feel pride for doing the right thing.
