American ace / Marilyn Nelson.

Nelson, Marilyn, 1946- (author.).

Summary:

Connor s grandmother leaves his dad a letter when she dies, and the letter s confession shakes their tight-knit Italian-American family: The man who raised Dad is not his birth father. But the only clues to this birth father s identity are a class ring and a pair of pilot s wings. And so Connor takes it upon himself to investigate a pursuit that 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.
