Brazen

Ever since she was a child, every aspect of Julia Haart’s life – what she wore, what she ate, what she thought – was controlled by the rules of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At nineteen, after a lifetime spent caring for her seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew.

But when she realises her daughters will be forced into the same unending servitude, Haart secretly starts preparing for a life beyond the confines of their Orthodox suburb – where she can pursue her ‘sinful’ dreams designing clothes.

Propulsive and unforgettable, Brazen follows Haart’s extraordinary journey from an extreme religious sect to how she found freedom and success in the world of fashion.
