Throughout the book, the McClures weave in love letters written by Lt. Tim Timberlake (a white officer in the all-black 93rd Regiment) to his sweetheart and eventual wife Helen Bryan, Christine McClure’s parents. The letters tell of a young man struggling to make sense of the budding relationship between him and Helen and the world around them as war ravaged Europe and the Asian Pacific.
