Editor's Take:
Abby Stein grew up at the heart of New York's Hasidic world. She was raised in a famous rabbinic family and trained as a rabbi herself. Leaving that community meant starting life almost from scratch. Her decision to come out as transgender drew wide attention. She has since founded support groups for trans people from religious backgrounds. Her memoir describes the journey with honesty and humour. She speaks widely on faith and identity. She later returned to the rabbinate at a progressive synagogue.
