Summary:

He is Luis de Carvajal, also known as Joseph Lumbroso. A century, earlier his Jewish forbears fled the inquisitions of Spain and Portugal. He and his family have settled in the New World, but the lives they try to rebuild as conversos in Mexico are just as perilous. Luis's spirit and ingenuity are tested again and again in his quest for true faith. Book jacket.
