Guiomar&’s mother Benita is dying when she reveals the family&’s secret to her daughter, giving her a pair of Sabbath candlesticks that have been in the family for generations. The news is unwelcome, not just because of the inherent danger, but because it means Guiomar will not be allowed to marry José Marcos Herrera, a man as feckless as he is handsome. Instead, her parents have arranged for her to marry into an Old Catholic family they hope will protect her from the Inquisition—but Guiomar does not love Francisco Armijo, a candlemaker who is beneath her status. When Francisco leaves on a mission to Mejico after the birth of their second child, Guiomar finds herself friendless and unprotected from the growing suspicions of Padre Dominguez. She leans on her servant Esperanza and her godfather Don Enrique Gomez as the Inquisitor tightens his hold. At the heart of the novel is a story of budding faith in the shadow of a terrible persecution. It is also a story of love and friendship—Guiomar&’s growing love for Francisco and her friendship for Esperanza, a woman whose own tragedies and strength in overcoming them guide Guiomar.

Simchah: It's Not Just Happiness
by Abraham J. TwerskiEveryone wants to be happy, but is happiness enough? It's not. We go to simchas; we wish each other chag sameach; but do we really understand the profound meaning of living in a steady state of joy? How is simchah different from - and far superior to - the more fleeting and elusive emotion of happiness? How can one have simchah even during times of sadness and even mourning? How is simchah cultivated through our holiday celebrations, through such practical mitzvos as tefillin, mezuzah, the laws of family purity, and through such significant rites of passage as bris milah, pidyon haben, and more? <p><p>In his refreshingly practical style, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski M.D. has produced an unparalleled work on simchah, the single character trait that may be the secret to success in all aspects of observance and learning. A fast read with a heavy emphasis on how to, this is a Dr. Twerski book you'll be recommending to friends and family for years to come.
