Eight years after her best friend hangs herself, Gittel breaks her silence and risks her own reputation, and that of her family, to come forward to the police with the real reason that led to the suicide. Written anonymously by a former member of a Chassidic sect in Brooklyn, the story painfully and vividly reveals the ongoing effects of incest and molestation on the victim, as well as on friends, family, and the community.
