Author: Sarah McCoy

I thought I had read another book by this author but when I checked with Goodreads I had listed another one as “Want to Read” but hadn’t read it yet. I just placed a hold on that book from our library.

The Bakers Daughter is the story of two generations of bakers. The original baker’s daughter, Elsie, struggles to keep the family’s German bakery going during the first world war. Her family has been befriended by a high-ranking Nazi so they are somewhat protected. But when Elsie hides a young Jewish boy in the walls of her room things become more dangerous. Many years later Elsie and her daughter have opened a German bakery in Texas. The book takes us into Elsie’s past as well as telling the story of her new life in America.
