My own rebellion was rather tame in comparison, but there is something about the lives of very strict, traditional believers of all different faiths that truly fascinates me. I will definitely have to check this book out.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-88610107942360600912014-02-10T02:45:59.430+00:002014-02-10T02:45:59.430+00:00There's a Naomi Ragen novel, The Sisters Weiss...There's a Naomi Ragen novel, The Sisters Weiss, which is based on a premise similar to this memoir - I just read an article by Ragen saying that, had she published AFTER this one was released, she's almost sure she'd have been done for plagarism.

I really want to read this. Like you I like reading about strict religious communities and grew up in a fairly secular home.
