Face the Wind: An Exceptional American Story
The adventures of Norm, a young eagle who does not know that he is an eagle (or that such a thing as an eagle exists!), and his adoptive father, Bantam, a retired fighting-cock who raises him within the crazy confines of a chicken coop.
With the unwitting help of their fellow inmates (the overbearing Ruesters, the pious Friars, the insidious Süds, and the compliant Lay-chickens), the unlikely pair are confronted by the problems raised in Orwell’s Animal Farm, and even deeper questions, which, after a little stumbling along the way, they answer with breathtaking courage and good humor.

Thoughtful look at politics and faith via the relationship between an eagle and the rooster who raised him as his own. This is a short story that is big on content. Must read!
