Paris, 1939. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with her young daughter, playmate to Juliette's own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war and when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette's world is destroyed along with it. More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend's bookstore reduced to rubble - and Juliette nowhere to be found. Elise's desperate search leads her to New York - and to Juliette - one final, fateful time.
