threaten everything she holds dear when the marauders of the First Crusade
massacre the Jews of Germany and her father suffers a stroke. Eliezer wants
them to move to the safety of Spain, but Rachel is determined to stay in
France and help her family save the Troyes yeshiva, the only remnant of the
great Talmud academies. The newest and third in a trilogy about the family and circle of students around Rashi,
