In the groundbreaking exploration "Deserters of God: The Ultra-Orthodox Who Leave It All Behind," Florence Heymann unveils the harrowing yet inspiring journeys of individuals daring to step away from the ultra-Orthodox Israeli communities. This compelling narrative delves deep into the lives of those who embark on the treacherous path from a world ensnared by rigid religious doctrines to one of secular discovery and freedom.
Heymann, through her meticulous research and empathetic storytelling, brings to life the stories of courage, resilience, and the human spirit's unyielding desire for autonomy. "Deserters of God" is not merely a collection of exit stories; it is an intimate look at the battle between identity and independence, between faith and personal truth.

Heymann's work stands as a beacon of understanding and empathy, shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles of the "exiters towards the question" and their indomitable quest for a life defined on their own terms.
Embark on this journey with "Deserters of God" and witness the incredible stories of those who dared to question, to leave, and to rediscover themselves beyond the confines of ultra-Orthodoxy.
