Publisher's Summary

Avremi Zippel always knew his life would be different. With a commitment to follow in his father's footsteps and serve as the Rabbi in Salt Lake City, he knew his life would defy stereotypes.

However, nothing could prepare him for the truly unexpected twists and turns reality had in store.

Not What I Expected tells the story of a young adult coming to terms with the decade of childhood sexual abuse experienced at the hands of the family caregiver and the decision to pursue a path of healing and embark on a perilous journey of seeking justice....

It is a tale of faith, hope, and belief, both in oneself and in something larger than self. It's a reminder that you can learn to find your voice when you commit to listening to yourself. Ultimately, it's a reminder that the most powerful and fulfilling life you can live is often the one you aren't expecting....

Incredible story by an incredible human

This book is moving and powerful and so well written. The author tells his heartbreaking story with such raw honesty and bravery, but also with the perfect amount of lightheartedness, wisdom and sprinkles of humour. I’m so thankful for the beacon of light that is Avremi Zippel. The world needs more of him!
