Exodus: A Memoir

Exodus: A Memoir

The author of the explosive <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling memoir <i>Unorthodox</i> chronicles her continuing journey as a single mother, an independent woman, and a religious refugee.<br /> <br />In 2009, at the age of twenty-three, Deborah Feldman walked away from the rampant oppression, abuse, and isolation of her Satmar upbringing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to forge a better life for herself and her young son.  Since leaving, Feldman has navigated remarkable experiences: raising her son in the “real” world, finding solace and solitude in a writing career, and searching for love. Culminating in an unforgettable trip across Europe to retrace her grandmother’s life during the Holocaust, <i>Exodus </i>is a deeply moving exploration of the mysterious bonds that tie us to family and religion, the bonds we must sometimes break to find our true selves.
