In 1945, young Francine and her maman are sent to the Bergen-Belsen Nazi prison camp, where life is gray and hopeless. Determined to lift Francines spirits, Maman shares a secret: hidden inside her bag are two pieces of chocolate. Theyre the first sweets Francine has seen in years, but Maman tells her not to eat them. One day, when I see that you really need themthats when Ill give the chocolates to you.

When Francine meets Hélène, a fellow prisoner, she learns another secret: Hélène is pregnant. But there is very little food in the camp, and even less hope. Hélène and her baby are in grave danger. Remembering the chocolates, Francine realizes she may be able to help.

Francines act of kindness will make ripples in their lives for decades to come.

Inspired by a remarkable true story.
