En la Inglaterra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Michael descubre la historia de su abuelo, un soldado negro del ejército británico que luchó en la Primera Guerra Mundial. A través de una medalla y una fotografía, se revelan secretos familiares de amor, pérdida y valentía, mostrando cómo su abuelo arriesgó su vida para salvar a hombres heridos, pero no recibió condecoraciones especiales debido a su raza. Esta conmovedora novela explora temas de identidad, guerra y los efectos persistentes del prejuicio, mientras Michael descubre quién es realmente.
