SUMMARY:Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman
DESCRIPTION:In the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape\, Unorthodox is a captivating story about a young woman determined to live her own life at any cost. \nThe Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism is as mysterious as it is intriguing to outsiders. In this arresting memoir\, Deborah Feldman reveals what life is like trapped within a religious tradition that values silence and suffering over individual freedoms. \nThe child of a mentally disabled father and a mother who abandoned the community while her daughter was still a toddler\, Deborah was raised by her strictly religious grandparents\, Bubby and Zeidy. Along with a rotating cast of aunts and uncles\, they enforced customs with a relentless emphasis on rules that governed everything from what Deborah could wear and to whom she could speak\, to what she was allowed to read. As she grew from an inquisitive little girl to an independent-minded young woman\, stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life. She had no idea how to seize this dream that seemed to beckon to her from the skyscrapers of Manhattan\, but she was determined to find a way. The tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until\, at the age of seventeen\, she found herself trapped in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she had met for only thirty minutes before they became engaged. As a result\, she experienced debilitating anxiety that was exacerbated by the public shame of having failed to immediately consummate her marriage and thus serve her husband. But it wasn’t until she had a child at nineteen that Deborah realized more than just her own future was at stake\, and that\, regardless of the obstacles\, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.

SUMMARY:Motherhood Exaggerated by Judith Hannan
DESCRIPTION:In the past\, the few memoirs about children battling cancer dealt mostly with death and grief. This passionate retelling by a survivor’s mother is about the struggle to help shepherd her child out of illness\, towards health and through survival. \nNow that more children survive cancer\, this passionate retelling by the survivor’s mother is required reading; the struggle of helping move the child out of illness.
