Maud and Meta move with their mother to a small town in Normandy. Here they meet Finette, whose wretched peasant life is one of poverty and abuse. The girls become a beacon of light in her dark world. Being careful not to offend those with strong religious beliefs and tradition, Maud and Meta share a little French testament with Finette as they point her to the Savior.

In this story of contrasts, we are challenged to bring the glorious gospel of Christ to our neighbor in a way that encourages but does not offend, a skill we all need to develop as we seek to tell others about the One who has forever changed our lives.
