Uncovered: How I Left Hasidic Life and Finally Came Home by Leah Lax

reflective slow-paced

3.0

 This is the personal account of Leah Lax, a girl who grew up in a secular home that eventually left home and converted to become a Hasidic Jew. She goes into detail about the conversion process, how her marriage was arranged, and how she faced motherhood inside this religion. Eventually, she decided to leave this life to find personal freedom, and her reasoning for it was very interesting. I knew virtually nothing about Hasidic Jews before reading this book, and I learned quite a bit about it. I thought the book was boring, and it took me quite a while to finish it.
