Henri and Joella meet as children in Paris in 1939 and form an unlikely bond, but the turmoil of the times separate the pair. Joella and her family must hide from the Nazis, and Henri's parents, though not Jewish, seek refuge from the coming war in the United States. Sixty years later, Henri's young grandson sparks the memory of that long-ago friendship with Joella. Henri can't stop wondering what might have become of her--and what might have been if they had met in a different time. Can he find her with the scant details he remembers from his childhood? And if he does, can that sweet bond bridge the decades and heal the wounds they've both suffered?
