ReviewsPraise for An Unorthodox Match : "A splendid book."-- San Diego Jewish World " Hidden secrets on all sides create questions and issues of how to belong, should you belong and where do we really belong." -- Ms. Magazine, " Eight Books That Will Transport You" "Ragen packs this novel with complex characters, many given backstories that increase the understanding of current choices. [She] provides a depth of details about daily life and philosophy behind Orthodox traditions as a natural extension of the story but also allows readers a glimpse into a world most would never experience ." -- Library Journal "Ragen asks why a secular Jewish woman might join an Orthodox community and whether it would be possible for her to find not only acceptance, but family." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for An Unorthodox Match : "A splendid book."-- San Diego Jewish World " Hidden secrets on all sides create questions and issues of how to belong, should you belong and where do we really belong." -- Ms. Magazine, " Eight Books That Will Transport You" "Ragen packs this novel with complex characters, many given backstories that increase the understanding of current choices.

Whether love or the law prevails, her novel and its conclusion is a worthy study in the richness and variety of our enduring people ." -- Jewish Book Council "Ragen asks why a secular Jewish woman might join an Orthodox community and whether it would be possible for her to find not only acceptance, but family." -- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisIn this rich and compassionate novel, An Observant Wife , Naomi Ragen continues the love story between newly observant California-girl Leah and ultra-Orthodox widower Yaakov from An Unorthodox Match . From the joy of their wedding day surrounded by supportive friends and family, Yaakov and Leah are soon plunged into the complex reality of their new lives together as Yaakov leaves his beloved yeshiva to work in the city, and Leah confronts the often agonizing restrictions imposed by religious laws governing even the most intimate moments of their married lives. Adding to their difficulties is the hostility of some in the community who continue to view Leah as a dangerous interloper, questioning her sincerity and adherence to religious laws and spreading outrageous rumors. In the midst of their heartfelt attempts to reach a balance between their human needs and their spiritual obligations, the discovery of a secret, forbidden relationship between troubled teenage daughter Shaindele and a local boy precipitates a maelstrom of life-changing consequences for all.
