I stopped reading books like Cut Me Loose: Sin and Salvation After My Ultra-Orthodox Girlhood, by Leah Vincent, not because I think this type of book is in anyway a worthless endeavor, but because it pains me that the most of the extreme versions of Judaism bear little resemblance to the religion that shapes my entire life. A religion that is the way for me, is a prison for others.
I read this book because the author, now known as Jericho Z Vincent, advances some stunning ideas in articles and videos, and I look forward to a book of their Torah. I wanted to get the requisite background of their world, their story, so I am prepared to read their Torah.
