Sixteen-year-old Élodie Lasalle is living the perfect life in 1940 France. A loving family, great friends, and a boy who shows interest in her...what more could she want? However, circumstances change drastically when the Nazis invade her country, and her Jewish friends are affected. Soon, she finds herself living in Paris. But life there isn't at all glamorous...there are food shortages and people wanting to rise up against the government. Élodie soon learns that peace comes at a price, and realizes that to save herself and others, she must listen to what she truly feels inside. As the walls close in on the little safety she has left, she must stay strong through the trials and heartbreak of not being truly free and break through the bonds of being in a captive country...even if it means going undercover.
