Summary:
When Mussolini joins forces with Hitler in World War II, everything changes for six-year-old Lia. Now there are laws saying Jewish children can't go to school, Jews can't work, or go on vacation. As war comes closer, it becomes too dangerous for her family to stay together, and Lia and her sisters are sent to hide at a convent. Will she ever be "just a girl" again?
