Book Excerpt...
Chapter One, Grazia
Edict of Expulsion:
31st of March, 1492
Accused of ritual murder in Granada and not under jurisdiction of
the Inquisition, the Church orders expulsion of all Jews and
Marranos from Spain within four months.
Granada, Spain
2 Ab 5252 (4 August 1492)
“Hermando, no. Please. Hanna’s still a girl. She made a mistake.” My
mother appealed to my father even as she, too, made preparations for
our long journey. The air in the front room of our home that served
as our place of trade reeked with anger and frustration. Despair
replaced hope. Three months had passed since the Edict of Expulsion
on the thirty-first of Adar. Originally we were to leave on the

"To say that your presentation to the
Jewish Women of the Landings was a smash hit would be to understate
the case!! Everyone raved about you! A trillion thanks to you for
coming to Skidaway Island and giving of your time to us.

"Novelist, humorist, researcher,
social observer. . . Marcia Fine is all of those when she gets in
front of an audience. The Sholom Chapter of Hadassah booked Marcia
and the response was overwhelming! Weeks later, our members are
still raving, saying she was one of the best speakers in the history
of our chapter. Furthermore, those who purchased her books are
enjoying a continuing dialogue with this Arizona-based author."
