THE BEECHWOOD FLUTE is a coming-of-age story about a young man finding his courage. At seventeen, Kiran wants to become a warrior to avenge his lost father and brother, but his talents lie in playing the flute. Then, when his nerve fails him, he allows his young sister to be stolen by Savages. Guilt and regret lead Kiran on a quest through the forest that leads him through servitude and suffering to discoveries about his broken family, and finally to a decision that pits his conscience against everything he has believed since childhood.
