Houston writer Leah Lax has led an unconventional life.
It includes nearly three decades as a Hasidic Jew in an arranged marriage she entered into when she was only 19. She and her husband moved to Houston, where she settled and became the mother of seven children. Over time, she had an awakening of sorts and rejected the life and world she knew.
She shares that journey with us, and in her memoir Uncovered: How I Left Hasidic Life and Finally Came Home.
