SUMMARY:Bites & Books
DESCRIPTION:Bites &amp\; Books\n\nIsabela’s Way\nby Barbara Stark-Nemon\n
 \nThursday\, September 3rd\nNOON\nWITH IN-PERSON AUTHOR APPEARANCE FOR DIS
 CUSSION!\nFacilitated by Rachel Ellis\n\nIn early-seventeenth-century Port
 ugal\, Spain\, France\, and Germany\, dangers are plentiful—especially f
 or those of Jewish heritage. Non-Catholics have been expelled from Spain\,
  and the Inquisition has come to Portugal to impose its prohibitions. Four
 teen-year-old Isabela\, an obedient “New Christian”\, believes she has
  nothing to fear from the Inquisition. But when a mysterious woman arrives
  with a message from Isabela’s traveling father\, the girl must leave he
 r home and embroider her way along the clandestine network of sanctuaries 
 created to conduct Conversos\, or secret Jews\, to safety. A host of suppo
 rters and spirit guides\, as well as one special young man\, assist Isabel
 a as she escapes the Inquisitors. As she travels\, she learns of the dange
 r and importance of her work\, with its coded symbols\, and is shocked to 
 discover her family’s true origins. In this enthralling coming-of-age ta
 le of resistance\, love\, and danger\, Isabela employs her talent and fier
 ce determination to find her way despite the powerful forces that buffet h
 er at every turn.\nREGISTER TODAY!\nPlease consider making a suggested $36
