Commemorating National Bread Day, March 21, Free E-Story

SEATTLE - March 18, 2020 - PRLog -- In honor of National Bread Day and the thousands of French women imprisoned for their imaginative ways of smuggling salt, author Debra Borchert offers a free download of  her short story, "Not by Bread Alone."

Many factors contributed to the French Revolution, including the obligatory purchase of salt and unfairly levied salt tax: La Gabelle. Appropriate for students of the French Revolution and adult readers of historical fiction, "Not by Bread Alone" is one family's story of struggle for survival.

A few readers' comments

A great read for Francophiles
I thought I knew a lot about the French revolution, but this gripping story, that literally had me breathing fast and turning the pages, showed me there was a lot I didn't know. Mary Parkhurst

Mother's love and perseverance to feed her family
"Not by Bread Alone" is the tale of a mother's love for her family and her perseverance in seeing to it that they do not starve under the crushing weight of unfair taxation and corrupt tax collectors in pre-revolutionary France. Albert Sbragia

Gnawing hunger of a mother's starving brood
Ms. Borchert's story keeps you engrossed as it takes you back in time to the brink of the French Revolution. Every sensory detail is telling, e.g., the formal cadence of the clever dialog, the firing of bread ovens, the hunger gnawing at Madame Dumont and her starving brood. Amazon Reader
