World War II is raging across Europe, but the enclosed, sheltered community of the Convent of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary is untouched by world events.

Yet she is attracted by the mysteries of the Catholic faith, and she enjoys the company of her new friends, notably the strong-willed but popular Clare Bingley.
