After all, to observe was to be accepted and to be accepted was to be loved. She married a man from within the fold and quickly began a family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But over the years, her doubts became noisier than her faith, and at age forty she could no longer breathe in what had become a suffocating existence. Even though it would mean the loss of her friends, her community, and possibly even her family, Tova decides to leave her husband and her faith. After years of trying to silence the voice inside her that said she did not agree, did not fit in, did not believe, she strikes out on her own to discover what she does believe and who she really is. This will mean forging a new way of life not just for herself, but for her children, who are struggling with what the divorce and her new status as \"not Orthodox\" mean for them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a memoir about what it means to decide to heed your inner compass at long last. To free the part of yourself that has been suppressed, even if it means walking away from the only life you've ever known. Honest and courageous, Tova takes us through her first year outside her marriage and community as she learns to silence her fears and seek adventure on her own path to happiness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTOVA MIRVIS is the author of three novels: \u003ci\u003eVisible City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Outside World, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ladies Auxiliary\u003c\/i\u003e, a national bestseller.
