Deborah Feldman has written a riveting account of one woman's struggle to break free from her Hasidic heritage. Soon after she was born, Deborah Cohen grew up in the community that saw her as a 'messiah.' She was popular, bright and excelled academically at school. Yet despite all these achievements, she had no say in who would raise her. The authority rested with her parents and their rabbis, who would decide what she wore, what school she went to and even where she lived.
