The Spanish Baker’s Daughter

Tamara will do anything to protect her family’s legacy. Even if it means leaving the only home she has ever known behind.

Spain, 1490s. Tamara has always felt most at home at her mother’s bakery in Segovia, skillfully braiding intricate challah bread for her community. It was an inseparable part of her, a gift passed in her family from mother to daughter. But as violence against Jews increases and news of mass expulsion spreads, Tamara fears for her life in Spain.

Along with her brother Rafael and grandfather Don Yakov, Tamara sets off on the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrim’s road that should lead them to safety in Portugal. Ezra, the cartographer’s handsome son, offers to help navigate the way. Disguised as Christians, they seek refuge with fellow Jews in hiding, constantly fearing discovery.
