Chicago, IL - December 1923:  Terrified, racing from an irate shopkeeper who has accused her of stealing, four-year-old Tayvie Jackson falls asleep while hiding in a car. Hours later, Tayvie, who understands almost no English, awakens many miles from a home she barely knew. Later, Tayvie and her adopted mother escape deceitful relatives, hoping to build on Tayvie’s fledging career as a jazz singer, ultimately leading her to pre-war Paris where unforeseen circumstances force her into a demoralizing relationship with one of Hitler’s most despised ministers, Dr. Joseph Goebbels.
