Pearl Abraham introduces us to Rachel, an Hasidic Jewish young woman who is coming of age, and struggling with the values and expectations of her community. Rachel's rebellion is found in the form of a library card, opening up her world, and creating doubt and conflict in her heart. It is fascinating to learn about the Hasidic traditions, but also difficult to watch a young woman struggle in a male dominated culture. An empowering read for anyone.
