Blurb/Synopsis:
Crypto-Jews, secret Jews of Spain and
Mexico, are still very much in danger in 1721. Fourteen-year-old Marcela Leon's
parents are dragged away to face the last auto-da-fé of the Inquisition in
colonial Mexico. Although her parents survive, Marcela’s life is forever
changed. Sent to the Castillo hacienda for her protection, Marcela has
difficulty grasping that safety requires silence about her beliefs. Her
forthright speech and budding sexuality lead her into situations beyond her
comprehension, ending with her exile to the northern silver-mining town of
Zacatecas, where she becomes housekeeper to a Catholic priest.
Marcela grows up to be one of the richest,
most powerful women in Zacatecas, adjusting to her separation from her mother
and the loss of her religion. But she can neither understand nor forgive her
mother’s obstinacy and abandonment. Her husband's death unleashes a new cascade
of disasters, and Marcela at last recognizes and appreciates the source of her
mother's power, and her own.
