On a cold, wet October afternoon Grayson Simmons learns something surprising about himself and who he thought he was. That revelation doesn't just upset the applecart, but smashes it to pieces, forcing him to decide how to reconstruct his life.
Grayson now must ask himself what it means to be a member of one so-called race or another. Who is Black? Who is white? Is a person who is the product of an African-American father and a white mother, Black, white, or something else? How should a person who has always identified as a member of one race or caste proceed once he has learned of his biracial ancestry?

Is a person who is the product of an African-American father and a white mother, Black, white, or something else? How should a person who has always identified as a member of one race or caste proceed once he has learned of his biracial ancestry?
During the course of Excavating the Truth Grayson learns about the violent death of the young man who had been his father. After much soul searching, he ultimately concludes that, even though one's skin tone should not matter, in twenty-first century America it still does.
