Summary:

Destiny, a young goat, returns to Jidada to bear witness to revolution-- and to recount the unofficial history and potential legacy of the females who have quietly pulled the strings. After the fall of Old Horse, the long-serving leader of the country, the nation of animals seek for a path to true liberation. The chorus of their animal voices unveils the ruthlessness required to uphold the illusion of absolute power-- and the imagination and bulletproof optimism to overthrow it completely. -- adapted from jacket
