I was born in a small town in the Midwest, the daughter of two Holocaust survivors. My parents were determined to give me a good life, far from the horrors they had endured. They raised me in a Conservative Jewish household, and I attended Hebrew school and synagogue regularly. But even as a child, I felt like an outsider. I didn't fit in with the other kids at school, and I didn't feel like I belonged at synagogue either.

When I was 18, I left home and moved to New York City. I wanted to find a place where I could be myself, where I wouldn't be judged for being different. But even in New York, I struggled to find my place. I worked a series of dead-end jobs and drifted from one relationship to another.

In 2008, I finally found my way to Berlin. I was drawn to the city's history and culture, and I hoped that I could find a sense of belonging there.

At first, Berlin was everything I had hoped for. I found a job as a writer and translator, and I started to make friends. But the more time I spent in Berlin, the more I realized that I was still an outsider. I didn't speak the language fluently, and I didn't understand the culture.

In 2015, I decided to leave Berlin. I was tired of feeling like an outsider, and I longed for a sense of belonging. I moved back to the United States and settled in a small town in New England.

But even in my new home, I couldn't escape the feeling of being an outsider. I was still haunted by the memories of my childhood, and I still felt like I didn't belong.

In 2019, I decided to write a book about my experiences. I wanted to share my story with others who have felt like outsiders, and I wanted to offer them hope.

Exodus Revisited is a personal and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey to find her place in the world. It is a story about identity, belonging, and the search for home.
