Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante's dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal.

      Rosie se od narození ve svém městě odlišuje zrzavou barvou vlasů, které vnímá jako symbol hrdosti, zatímco ostatní je považují za prokletí. Po deportaci rodiny z Maďarskem okupovaného severu Rumunska do Osvětimi přichází o své nádherné vlasy, ale snaží se udržet si hrdost a odvahu v nelidských podmínkách koncentračního tábora. V těžkých chvílích se obrací ke vzpomínkám na dětství a dospívání v rodné Crasně, čerpá sílu ze zážitků se sourozenci, radami maminky a milovaného dědečka, což jí pomáhá zachovat si lidskost a soucit. Její zrzkovská tvrdohlavost jí několikrát zachrání život. I přes krutost a zkázu v Osvětimi, Bergen-Belsenu a na pochodu smrti neztrácí víru v návrat domů, kterou se snaží sdílet se svou mladší sestrou Leou a ostatními dívkami. Odvaha a bystrost však nestačí a Rosie se mnohokrát ocitá v situacích, kdy přežije díky šťastné souhře okolností. Autorka, Nechama Birnbaumová, zachytila pravdivý příběh své babičky, který přináší důležité svědectví o holocaustu a láskyplně popisuje historii Rosiiny rodiny a její dospívání, s důrazem na kulturu, náboženství a zvyky židovské komunity ve třicátých a čtyřicátých letech.
