In 1492 Spain, fourteen-year-old Maria becomes the servant to a wealthy family of Jewish converts to Catholicism. When the family is persecuted by the Inquisitors, partly because of her own reports, Maria helps them flee on a ship captained by her uncle. The first-person voice isn't always convincing, but a number of the characters are engaging.
