Contents
Three brothers, a war and secrets. Pita -- Little Father, Big Brother -- stays at home to look after his family as he's done since he was a small boy. There's Jess and Ani Rose to keep him there, but he decides he has to go to war. Rangi -- chatterer, mischievous -- is the first to go to war. He has loads of mates and is one of the bravest fighters in the Maori Battalion. He's the go-between for Pita and Tu. Te Hokowhitu-a-Tu -- Tuboy, Tu Bear -- is the family's hope for the future. First chance he gets he becomes a soldier, and finds there's no place he'd rather be than with his battalion. Some years later, a niece and a nephew come looking for answers. It is time for revelations.
