Book Synopsis
Semi-finalist in the Hemingway Book Awards for 20th Century Wartime Fiction
DISCOVER THE UNTOLD STORY BEHIND A WWII HERO'S DARKEST SECRETS.
Elias Gunnarson always believed his father, Teddy, was part of "the greatest generation"-a World War II hero who returned home, married his high school sweetheart, and lived the American dream. But Elias soon learns that his father's legacy is far more complicated-and darker-than the stories passed down through the years.
As Elias uncovers letters, videos, and hidden memories, the truth emerges: the reality of Teddy's war was far more brutal than anyone imagined. From the bloodied sands of Omaha Beach to the chilling horrors of Dachau, the tale of Teddy, his brother Jake, and the woman they both loved begins to unravel. Elias must confront the haunting revelation that even heroes carry the weight of unforgivable sins.
Will uncovering the past bring Elias peace, or will it shatter everything he thought he knew about his family?
