They fought for their country. Will they fight for each other?
1941: In a segregated Floridian town, three young Black soldiers go to war.
Cora remains at home, struggling to keep her family afloat whilst consumed with worry that her brother, her best friend, and her childhood sweetheart may not return.
But her boys are fighting for a country that would never have fought for them. If they do come back, the struggle is far from over…
Gripping, heart-wrenching and so beautifully written. The Colour of Home will stay with me for a long time. * Beth O'Leary *
Compelling story telling, engaging and at times challenging, but ultimately The Colour of Home is a wonderful story of hope. I loved it. * Sally Page *
Astonishingly good - if you read one book in 2026 make it this one. * Heather Critchlow *
Tammye Huf’s searing post-World War II-era novel is a fast-paced, heart-wrenching look at the tragic conundrum of racial identity in the United States, which defined the American experience of that time, and which continues to reverberate in the America of today. The Colour of Homeprovides a mirror from which readers will not be able to turn away. * Charles B. Fancher, author of RED CLAY *
