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 nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.

Gripping page turner
It’s shocking that the author is five years younger than me and yet basically grew up in what should easily be classed as a Cult. I’ve got Jewish friends but they don’t live by dated strict rules (and often some shocking ones - watch the Netflix adaptation to see what I mean). But the author doesn’t slate the Hasidic community as such, just says it wasn’t for her and that she’s proud to be Jewish still - but enjoys living in the real world where she can wear jeans, lipstick, heels and grow her natural hair and have it on show in public. My only criticism is that there were so many words relating to Jewish beliefs and practices that unless you’re Jewish yourself you had no idea what she was talking about - it would have been better had their been a glossary at the bottom of each page or something then you’d have a better understanding of what they were on about.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
