Female Ingenuity and Survival on the Brink of the French Revolution Would you commit a crime to feed your children?
A thrilling account of a mother's love for her family, her perseverance in feeding her children, and her ingenuity of donning a risqué disguise to smuggle salt.

From the threatened warmth of Madame Dumont's bakery, across borders guarded by lecherous customs agents, into the mushroom caves that could be a trap, Madame Dumont outwits a heartless bureaucracy that will put her, if caught, facing a noose.

Students of world history will enjoy learning how the unfairly levied salt tax, La Gabelle,affected an entire nation and how one woman's proud feminism fueled a revolt.
