review 1: Wat een mooi boeken over elsie de bakkersdochter verloofd met een duitse ss soldaat eigenlijk meer uit angst dan dat ze het echt wil.....een gezin die pro-duits is maar het leven wordt in 1945 moeilijk de oorlog is op zn einde de waarheid dringt door wat er gebeurd is met joodse gezinnen....en elsie heeft een geheim ze heeft een joods jongetje verstopt in haar slaapkamer.......het verhaal speelt zich af in het verleden maar ook in het heden.......mooi verteld...
review 2: The Baker's Daughter is a story of two young women on the brink of realizing their future. Elsie is the daughter of a German couple who own a bakery. They are doing the best they can to provide for themselves and their community. They are kept safe by a German officer who wishes to make Elsi... moree his bride. Though she doesn't love him, she accepts his proposal to protect her family. Her sister Hazel, pregnant and unmarried, becomes part of the Lebensborn program, giving her children over to be raised and trained by the Nazi government. Elsie is strong of character, but it is not always easy to do the right thing surrounded by so much evil. Elsie finds her way to America and opens a bakery in Texas. Reba is a young journalist assigned to write a Christmas story about Dixie's bakery. She carries her own demons and hurts from her past. She protects and guards her heart, but with the help of Elsie and her daughter Jane, Reba confronts her fears. Reba's boyfriend, Riki, is facing his own doubts and conflicts over the work he does as a border patrol agent. A story of triumph when one's actions are guided by love. All the descriptions of the wonderful baked goods made my mouth water. less
