About this book

Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots is an autobiographical account by Deborah Feldman, released in 2012. It describes her childhood in the Satmar sect in Brooklyn, New York, a community built on rigid traditions. Her path to self-discovery began with secretly reading books in English. At 17 she found herself in an unhappy marriage, and after becoming a mother she chose to leave the sect for the sake of her child's future. The book inspired the Netflix series Unorthodox.
