Uncovered: How I Left Hasidic Life and Finally Came Home
Uncovered: How I Left Hasidic Life and Finally Came Home
Uncovered is the only memoir to tell of a gay woman leaving the Hasidic fold. Told in understated, crystalline prose, Leah Lax begins her story as a young teen leaving her secular home to become a hasidic Jew, then plumbs the nuances of her arranged marriage, fundamentalist faith, and hasidic motherhood as, all the while, creative, sexual, and spiritual longings tremble beneath the surface.
