‘A simple story, beautifully told’ Sunday Express

Michael never knew his father, an RAF pilot lost in the war. And his French mother, heartbroken and passionate, doesn’t like to talk about her husband. But then Auntie Snowdrop gives Michael a medal, followed by a photograph, which begin to reveal a hidden history.

A story of love and loss. A story that will change everything – and reveal to Michael who he really is . . .
