About the Author:
Sharon Kurtzman worked in television marketing before pursuing her dream of becoming a writer.

About the Book:
The Lost Baker of Vienna is a historical novel inspired by the experiences of the author’s own family after the Holocaust, a sweeping saga about survival, loss, love, and the reverberating effects of war. The story affirms the unbreakable bonds of family, shining a light on the courageous spirit of WWII refugees as they battle to survive the overwhelming hardships of a world torn apart.
