"This is a wonderful historical tale of a doctor who is Jewish, and how he conceals his religion from Torquemada and the Spanish inquisition. He sends his family to the safety of Africa, selling everything he owned. He however keeps his gold home key, only to pass on the key, and the memories it represents." Good Reads "Born in Anamosa, Iowa, Schoonover attended the University of Wisconsin, then worked in advertising before becoming a novelist.
Lawrence Schoonver had four daughters with his wife, Gertrude Hedwig Bonn: Judith Hedwig (1940), Mary Elizabeth (1942), Caroline Grace (1944–2005), and Virginia (1946).
Writing mostly historical fiction, his attention to detail and historical accuracy won him great praise by his contemporaries. " Good Reads
