Kerry, an eighteen-year-old sixth-form student, attends her Grandad's funeral and learns something she never expected: he was a war hero. At the wake, she is guided to a secret box hidden in the attic. Inside, she finds documents and items that reveal a side of her grandfather's life she never knew existed. Before settling down to raise a family, he lived a life filled with mystery, courage, and hidden connections. He leaves her with a task: to tell his story. What Kerry uncovers includes secrets, foreign ties, and truths so extraordinary they seem stranger than fiction.
