But Leah began to notice and disagree with some aspects of this fundamentalist, male-centered world she protested her father’s racial slurs and dreamed of going to college. She and her ten siblings adored their father, an influential rabbi, and sought his approval as the head of their traditional household. Leah Vincent was born into the Yeshivish community, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect that shuns the modern world. So what’s this book about anyway? A Synopsis –Ĭut Me Loose is an electrifying memoir about a young woman’s self-destructive spiral after being cast out by her ultra-Orthodox Jewish family. Cut Me Loose chronicles the early life of Leah Vincent, in her transition from Ultra-Orthodox Jewish girl, to secular woman. ![]() And I’m super excited to share this book with you. I recently received a copy of Cut Me Loose: Sin and Salvation After My Ultra-Orthodox Girlhood from NetGalley and Penguin Books. ![]()
