Connor's grandmother left his dad a letter when she died, and her confession shook their tight-knit Italian-American family: the man who raised Dad was not his birth father. The only clues to this birth father's identity are a class ring and a pair of pilot's wings, and Connor takes it upon himself to investigate. The pursuit becomes even more pressing when Dad is hospitalized after a stroke. What Connor discovers will lead him and his father to a new, richer understanding of race, identity, and each other.
