Some families carry history in photographs and letters. Michael Walker's family carried it in war.
Spanning the RAF, the French Resistance, and the SOE, the extraordinary stories running through Michael's bloodline are ones of courage, sacrifice, and survival under impossible circumstances. But history has a way of leaving its mark, and growing up in its shadow was not without cost. A childhood defined by instability and loss gave way to years of nomadic living, illness, and a search for belonging that seemed always out of reach. Advance Party is the story of what we inherit from the people who came before us, and what we must find for ourselves. Honest, unflinching, and profoundly human, it traces one man's journey through inherited wounds and hard-won recovery, towards something he had almost stopped believing in: home, love, and a family of his own choosing.Also from
