"Chronicles the author’s wartime experiences as a child left by her mother for her own safety in a French Catholic convent. ... To protect her from the Nazis, the mother of a Jewish French girl sends the child to a Catholic convent school ... During World War II, a young Jewish girl known as F. is transported to a convent school at the Chateau de Beaujeu, France, where her fascination with catechism clouds her identification with her true heritage."--Publisher description.
