When Maman falls ill, Karin Levi and her brother must continue their journey through the French countryside without her, eventually boarding a ship in Italy taking refugees to the United States. This moving World War II story is neither highly dramatic nor politically charged; it is the very personal and immediate experience of a young girl grappling with the loss of her old life and with a new life that changes daily.
