Many causes contributed to the French Revolution, one of which was the unfairly levied salt tax: La Gabelle. Peasants resorted to smuggling salt to feed their starving families. Many women and children were arrested and imprisoned. Not by Bread Alone is one family’s tale of survival.

Great character development and well paced with vivid descriptions. I learned about pre-French Revolution and the unfair salt tax. The main character, Madame Dumont, struggles to feed her family - she figures out how to subvert the system just to survive. Loved this short story and look forward to Ms. Borchert's upcoming trilogy about the French Revolution.
