The Pyrénées, France, 1939. Twenty-year-old Sylvie Laget has found the one she wants to be with forever.

Grief drives her to take her vows and become a sister, but when a tragic miscommunication shatters her universe, she must decide where her faith truly lies…
Will her country's bloody battle destroy Sylvie's spirit, or will her unexpected path lead to the future she craves?
