The story begins with the Johansen sisters racing their Jewish friend Ellen Rosen home from school. The German soldiers order them to "Stop". When they go home they tell their parents about their incident with the German soldiers. Their parents tell them more about the war and why the soldiers are there. Ellen is warned to be a face in the crowd because she is Jewish, and the Germans are here for all Jewish people.

Soon they started relocating Jews. Mr. and Mrs. Rosen went to stay with friends and Ellen stayed with the Johansen's to be safe. Times begin to get tough. The Johansen's must live without many things such as sugar, butter, coffee, and cigarettes. Kirsti misses cupcakes so much she has dreams about them. But even though things are difficult, Mr. and Mrs. J

One day the Johansen's learn that the soldiers were coming to their house so they disguised Ellen as Lise, Anne Marie's older sister who died in a car accident. After that encounter with the soldiers, Mrs. Johansen took Anne Marie, Kirsti, and Ellen to their Uncle Henrik's farm.

Two years later the war has ended just like Uncle Henrik said. The streets are filled with people singing their national anthem. The sad part is that Peter had bin shot. But all is well because all the Jews should be moving back home in a week or so.
