A compelling and moving historical love story exploring the untold impact of segregation during WW2, for fans of The Women by Kristen Hannah and The Tattooist of Auschwitz. '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.
