Called “brave and riveting” by
Jeannette Walls, Deborah Feldman’s New York Times best-selling memoir of
escaping from a strict Hasidic community includes a new afterword by the author
as well as the epilogues from the original 2012 editions detailing the circumstances
of her life after leaving her husband and forging new beginnings for herself
and her young son.
As a member of the strictly
religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code
of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear
and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of
her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman
whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane
Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life
among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and
emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension
between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew
more explosive until she gave birth at 19 and realized that, regardless of the
obstacles, she would have to forge a path - for herself and her son - to
happiness and freedom.
Remarkable and fascinating,
this “sensitive and memorable coming-of-age story” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) is
one you won’t be able to put down.
