I am forbidden

Large Print 2012

A family is torn apart by fierce belief and private longing in this unprecedented journey deep inside the most insular Hasidic sect, the Satmar. Over the course of four decades, from pre-World War II Transylvania to contemporary New York, two girls raised as sisters make different choices which force them apart, until a dangerous secret threatens to banish them from the only community they've ever known.
