Praise for An Unorthodox Match : "A splendid book."-- San Diego Jewish World " Hidden secrets on all sides create questions and issues of how to belong, should you belong and where do we really belong." -- Ms. Magazine, " Eight Books That Will Transport You" "Ragen packs this novel with complex characters, many given backstories that increase the understanding of current choices. [She] provides a depth of details about daily life and philosophy behind Orthodox traditions as a natural extension of the story but also allows readers a glimpse into a world most would never experience ." -- Library Journal " Read­ing Nao­mi Ragen is like hav­ing a warm vis­it with an old friend, com­plete with tea and rugelach.In An Unortho­dox Match , as the title implies, a lit­tle rebel­lion goes a long wa y, and Ragen deft­ly guides us through these moral quan­daries. Whether love or the law pre­vails, her nov­el and its con­clu­sion is a wor­thy study in the rich­ness and vari­ety of our endur­ing people .

" -- Jewish Book Council "Ragen asks why a secular Jewish woman might join an Orthodox community and whether it would be possible for her to find not only acceptance, but family." -- Kirkus Reviews.
