‘You want to risk everything – for a country that’s never cared if you live or die?’
1941: In a segregated Florida town, three young Black men enlist to fight for a freedom they’ve never known at home.
Before they leave, Cora marries in haste to secure her future – but her heart remains divided between the man she wed and the man she truly loves.
1945: As war finally ends, everything shifts. The boys Cora knew return as men she barely recognises, carrying scars no one can see – and truths that threaten to unravel everything Cora has fought to hold together.
Set against the backdrop of war where Black men and women weren’t allowed to be heroes, comes a powerful, deeply moving novel about love, sacrifice and the epic resilience of the human spirit.
