- A young boy named Julian was calling his Grandmother to interview her for a school assignment. He had to find information about what life was like for her during World War II. The story was about Julian's grandmother (Sara Blum) explaining her life as a young girl during the war and how it affected her and changed her life forever.
- The story flashes back all the way to when Sara was a young Jewish girl living in a village called Aubervilliers-aux-Bois and was told in her perspective. Life was perfect and she was as carefree as a bird. However, that all changed faster than Sara could comprehend. French surrendered to Germany in 1940, and life for Jews changed completely. The government passed many anti-Jewish laws and many people lost their jobs, including Sara's Mama.
- One day, Sara and her classmate were pulled out of class because there had been a roundup of Jewish children in the village. The school was trying to get all the kids out and hide them in the woods. Everyone ran to the forest, everyone but Sara. She ran to the bell tower and hid there. Soon, the Nazis found the children in the woods and took them away in a truck. There were three missing kids that the Nazis started to look for, Sara included. However, a boy named Julien Beaumier found her and tried to help.
