Overview
Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Woodson and Toni Morrison, this novel in verse explores American history and race through the eyes of a teen boy embracing his newfound identity.
Connor's grandmother leaves his dad a letter when she dies, and the letter's confession shakes their tight-knit Italian-American family: The man who raised Dad is not his birth father.
But the only clues to this birth father's identity are a class ring and a pair of pilot's wings. And so Connor takes it upon himself to investigate--a pursuit that becomes even more pressing when Dad is hospitalized after a stroke. His hunt brings him to the history of the Tuskegee Airmen, and leads him and his father to a new, richer understanding of race, identity, and each other.
