Deborah Feldman recounts her childhood growing up in the Hasidic Satmar society in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and her eventual exodus from the community.

Even though Feldman’s story is likely different from her audience’s, she challenges her readers to consider what kind of person they want to be and what dreams they want to pursue.
