The reviews for this book are all over the map so I went into it with minimal expectations. Although I skimmed some chapters, I found it quite the compelling read. I wanted to know more about Malkie's work (at the time of her work with the author, she hadn't officially founded Footsteps), about Yossi's progress and how Dini was managing. WHo else has Chaim (appropriate pseudonym!) helped? Not the read for people looking for scholarly research into those leaving the fold, but a good inside look at the people behind the stories
