From a war where black men and women weren’t allowed to be heroes, comes a sweeping tale of devastating prejudice, the power of love and the epic resilience of human spirit.
'You want to risk everything - for a country that’s never cared if you live or die?’
1941: in a segregated Florida small town, three young black friends enlisted to fight. Back home, Cora struggles to keep her family afloat whilst consumed with worry about her brother Benny, best friend Roscoe and childhood sweetheart Lee.
Engulfed by the war, the boys she knew return as men she barely recognises...
Grounded in real experience, The Colour of Home weaves together lesser-known stories of World War II, before the civil rights movement, when young black soldiers went to war for a country that would never have fought for them.
