In the hustle and bustle of Dakar in 1939, Awa and Ibrahim married, sealing their love in the innocence of their youth. But their happiness was soon overshadowed by the Second World War. While Awa was pregnant, Ibrahim was torn from his home, enlisted in the Senegalese Tirailleurs and sent to the front in France. In the turmoil of war, fate took its toll on the young couple. Ibrahim disappeared in the tumultuous fighting of May 1940, leaving Awa alone, grieving and shattered by the loss of her unborn child. But even in the darkness of her grief, a faint ray of hope appears when the rector of the Paris mosque shows up in Dakar, asking for help for a resistance network hiding Jews. Awa seized the opportunity, seeing in the journey to France the hope of repatriating the body of her beloved husband. In Paris, she joins the underground struggle as a nurse, throwing herself body and soul into active resistance alongside the FTP network, protecting and saving as many lives as she can. Hosted by a Jewish family, Awa thought she had found a temporary refuge, but fate decided otherwise. The great roundup of July 16, 1942 struck, and Awa, who wore a yellow star because they lent her clothes, was arrested and deported to the unspeakable horror of the death camps at Auschwitz. There, she has a decisive encounter that changes everything. In this poignant and captivating tale, discover the courage and determination of a woman caught up in the torments of war, but determined never to give up on the hope and love that guide her, even in the heart of the darkest shadows of human history.
