Thomas Branigan Memorial Library’s Readers of the Purple Sage Book Club will host award-winning novelist Sarah McCoy 12:30-1:30 p.m. Thursday, June 17, via Zoom, the library said in a news release.
During the presentation, McCoy will discuss her book “The Baker’s Daughter,” a novel about the intertwining of two women’s lives.
In the book, set in 1945, Elsie Schmidt is a naive teenager protected from the worst of the terror and desperation overtaking Germany by a high-ranking Nazi who wishes to marry her. An escaped Jewish boy arrives on Elsie’s doorstep on Christmas Eve. Sixty years later, in El Paso, Texas, Reba Adams is trying to file a feel-good Christmas piece for the local magazine. She interviews the owner of Elsie’s German Bakery. Reba finds herself returning to the bakery repeatedly to uncover a story that resonates with her turbulent past.
