It is set in Belgium in 1939, before World War 2. Simone Lyon, the daughter of the infamous General Joseph Lyon, recalls her friendship with Polish Hava Daniels. The daughter of a devote Jewish family. Despite, having many differences, they were inseparable. They enjoyed each others company.

Each chapter, has real life events of what happened in the war, which makes it more of a realistic read. It is an amazing story of friendship against all odds and you're eager for the central characters to be saved.
