'Brilliant' Grazia

'Beautifully written' Daily Express

Hilton Wise is the son of one of the wealthiest and most powerful lawyers in America. When he falls for Savannah, a young black girl he meets on the beach at Cape Cod during the summer of 1952, he has no idea that his passion for her will lead to the exposure of his father's deepest secrets. The result shatters his family, and hers.

Years later, Hilly sets out to find Savannah and to right the wrongs he set in motion. But can his sense of guilt, and his good intentions, overcome the forces of history, family, and identity?

Told over fifty years, Wise Men is a sweeping story about love and regret, the evolving struggle for racial dignity, and the difficulty of doing the right thing in an unjust world.
