Guardians of Hidden Traditions is a historical novel narrating the
experiences of generation after generation of crypto-Jews,
beginning in Spain in the late 1300's and ending in New Mexico in
the early 1800's. It tells the stories of mothers, daughters, and
their families as they hide from the Inquisition and migrate to new
lands seeking freedom and peace. Isabelle Medina-Sandoval draws
from stories and research about her own family to create this
novel. The story is built around a real core of events, and she
includes historically rich details about the lifestyles of the
various time periods. "Guardians of Hidden Traditions is a
fascinating and moving story of a people that held on to deep
traditions and culture through tremendous trials and tribulation.
Dr. Medina Sandoval has woven into this work the beautiful story of
our ancestors. The work provides a deep sense of belonging for a
group that survived in the hearts and minds of individuals with
deep faith in something omnipotent. This work is something that we
as a people need to pass on to our young people in our educational
systems. The culture and traditions portrayed in this work is
really part of our Land of Enchantment. The Rosa de Castilla and
the many traditions are part of New Mexico and its people." --Dr.
John Mondragon, Professor, University of New Mexico
