By fire possessed

" ... the story of a wealthy and powerful Jewish woman who moved through royal courts and the elegant lives of the rich during the Renaissance. She was one of the influential women of her day and arguably the most important Sephardic woman of the last 500 years. In one of the extraordinary episodes of history, Doña Gracia saved thousands of Sephardic families from the Inquisition and persecution. They were resettled in the Ottoman Empire, where they were welcomed and found acceptance for Jewish life and religious practice."—Publisher's statement, p. [4] of cover.
