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.
