Description

Darleen Bungey's father was a glamorous American singer who performed at the Academy Awards and outsold Bing Crosby in the 1930s. But he also became an Australian infantryman, fighting alongside his fellow Diggers in Palestine, Beirut, Egypt, and New Guinea. Bungey explores her family's secrets, using her forensic skills to uncover the truth about her father's life. She discovers a man who left behind the glamour of Hollywood for a modest home in suburban Sydney, and a love that endured despite his reckless past. With a truthful eye and loving heart, Bungey delves into her father's complex story, seeking answers to questions that have puzzled her for years.
