France, 1940: When the German army invades, sixteen-year-old Gaelle de Barbet loses her family, and her closest friend is sent to a detention camp. Joining the Resistance, Gaelle takes terrifying risks to fearlessly deliver Jewish children to safety, and later to help save France's art treasures. But when the war draws to a close, she is falsely accused of collaboration, and flees to Paris in disgrace. There, she begins a new life that eventually takes her to New York, from a career as a Dior model to marriage and motherhood, unbearable loss, and mature, lasting love when she returns to France. No matter where she goes, however, her label as a collaborator remains - until her granddaughter, a respected political journalist, embarks on a journey to see Gaelle recognized as the war hero she was.
