Description
Deborah Feldman's memoir tells the story of her escape from a strictly religious sect and her journey to independence.
Growing up in the Satmar community, Deborah was raised under a code of customs that governed every aspect of her life. Yet she found solace in reading about empowered women like Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott, which helped her imagine an alternative way of life.
As she navigated a dysfunctional marriage and motherhood, Deborah realized she had to forge a path for herself and her son. A remarkable and fascinating coming-of-age story, this memoir is a testament to the power of self-discovery and determination.
