More About This Book

Overview

In 1945, Elsie Schmidt is a naive teenager, as eager for her first sip of champagne as she is for her first kiss. She and her family have been protected from the worst of the terror and desperation overtaking her country by a high-ranking Nazi who wishes to marry her. So when an escaped Jewish boy arrives on Elsie’s doorstep in the dead of night on Christmas Eve, Elsie understands that opening the door would put all she loves in danger.

Sixty years later, in El Paso, Texas, Reba Adams is trying to file a feel-good Christmas piece for the local magazine. Reba is perpetually on the run from memories of a turbulent childhood, but she’s been in El Paso long enough to get a full-time job and a fiancé, Riki Chavez. Riki, an agent with the U.S. Border Patrol, finds comfort in strict rules and regulations, whereas Reba feels that lines are often blurred.

Reba’s latest assignment has brought her to the shop of an elderly baker across town. The interview should take a few hours at most, but the owner of Elsie’s German Bakery is no easy subject. Reba finds herself returning to the bakery again and again, anxious to find the heart of the story. For Elsie, Reba’s questions are a stinging reminder of darker times: her life in Germany during that last bleak year of WWII. And as Elsie, Reba, and Riki’s lives become more intertwined, all are forced to confront the uncomfortable truths of the past and seek out the courage to forgive.

    A MUST READ

    GREAT BOOK...I loved every page. Very educational even if it is fictional. I'm going to check out other books by Sarah McCoy.

    Nice ending!

    I admit my previous review was too harsh and i really enjoyed the last 50 pages!

    Before you go and buy this book, please read my review and save yourself some money.

    I came across this book on the Barnes & Noble website. I was looking for a good story and when I read the reviews about this book, I was thrilled, thinking how much I enjoyed "Those who save us" which also involved the Holocost and a bakery.

    I really wanted to love this book. I read all sorts of reviews about it on line and they all were so positive that I thought I'd come across a real gem.

    I have about 50 pages left to go and unless dramatic events occur in these 50 pages, I'm beyond disappointed. When I read a well-written novel, the characters come alive for me and their words practically jump off the pages. Not so with this book. It feels like the author is going on and on and on, going back and forth between a modern day El Paso and a 1940-1945 town in Germany. I like stories that do that. However, even the names of the characters... Reba, Niki, Jane, Else, Mutti...couldn't she have tossed in a name with more than four letters ... oh yeah, there's also Dee Dee. Come on give us a little variety here. Put some meat into their stories because the availability of meat is sure there. What's all this with Jane talking to the neighbor's dog and then she suddenly drinks too much wine and finds herself in bed with him. Like really ... in real life how many times do you think that's going to happen. Now back in Germany, Else, just happens to fall for her American doctor who's treating her for a miscarriage. Of course he's tall, dark, and handsome with a "strong jaw". Sappy is the only word that comes to my mind. If the author intended Reba to be a dynamic character, she didn't succeed. With 50 pages to go, I still can't picture her Reba in my mind. I keep getting Reba confused with her boyfriend, Niki, and vice versa. It just throws me off a little and then I realize who she means. I hope this little boy Else was hiding in her room comes back in the story again because otherwise the other has just set us up to care about him for nothing. We'll see. The only two things I liked in "The Baker's Daughter" are (1)the front cover of the jacket ... love the reddish hat ... and all the breads, rolls, cakes they make at the bakery make your mouth water. The end is near and I'm determined to finish it. I hope this helps somebody.

    A Powerful Novel, Highly Recommend

    Sarah McCoy's THE BAKER'S DAUGHTER is a powerful story, and a delightful read. The story unfolds in two contrasting time periods, told by two very different women: young and reckless Reba, a journalist in modern-day Texas, and 1940's Elsie, navigating the complex world of WWII Germany. McCoy's writing is real. I could taste the baked goods from the bakeries in both worlds, and I felt strongly for each of the character's journeys. Highly recommended, especially as a novel to talk about with friends.
