Most of us have read WWII fiction, and here's another! The Baker's Secret is a well-written, easy to read book about a brave and determined 22-year-old woman. In a small German-occupied village in France just before D-Day, the local Jewish baker is taken away. The German army needs bread and Emma was the baker's apprentice. A small resistance team is created when Emma figures out a way to distribute needed food (and hope!) to villagers while living in a home occupied by a German officer. Strong characters and wonderful descriptions of the countryside, the smells of bread and the villagers. This story made me think about what I would do in Emma's situation and if I could be this brave?? SW
