About This Book

The narrative follows a young girl from Picardy who becomes a refugee and copes with displacement by leaning on friends, household routines, and a loyal dog. After hurried departures and nights in cramped quarters she faces fear, resourcefulness, and small consolations such as gardening, chores, and neighborhood companionship. The story moves through episodes of danger, unexpected kindness, and changing fortunes as she shelters with various households, makes new attachments, and ultimately experiences reunion and the slow restoration of domestic peace.
