Growing up in the Hasidic community of Brooklyn's Borough Park, Sara Glass knew one painful truth: what was expected of her and what she desperately wanted were impossibly opposed. Tormented by her attraction to women and trapped in a loveless arranged marriage, she found herself unable to conform to her religious upbringing and soon, she made the difficult decision to walk away from the world she knew.
A deeply nuanced recollection of her experiences in devout life, starting from childhood ... It is a searing testament to the strength in claiming one’s destiny, untethered to the past.
Readers interested in LGBTQ+ lives and narratives exploring the connections among religion, psychology, and sexuality will greatly enjoy this intimate, deeply moving read.
