Raped at fifteen, then things got really bad. One chilly winter afternoon, Hannah, a brilliant fifteen-year-old living in a closed ultra-orthodox community, is raped in the back room of a kosher butcher shop. Unwilling to blame a homeless black man, as her parents demand, she runs from the community. Alone on mean and unfamiliar New York City streets, she meets Everett Talcott a pedophilic teacher at a fancy private school who teaches her the ways of the world. She exacts revenge on her rapist and now a rebel without a pause, falls into a life of prostitution, Serbian gangsters, and hard drugs, before becoming a loving, devoted mother. After entrapping a drug dealer, in a flawed attempt to save her son who has been convicted of a crime he didn't commit, she becomes a protected witness banished to a small Appalachian town so backwards that its efforts to recreate the biblical ark fail due to inadequate technology. Depressed and alone, she falls in love with a local teacher, rediscovers her religious roots and her calling, tikkun olam, repairing the world. But to do that she must first leave witness protection and face homicidal drug dealers set on revenge. The story of a woman who overcomes the ultimate violation to become whole, believe in herself and carry out her mission of repairing the world. girl combines intrigue, adventure, humor, and romance that will bring you tears and ultimately joy.
