But as Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war, he discovers a profound courage he thought he could never possess again., A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved.An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever.
