The author is Naomi Ragen.  "The Sacrifice of Tamar" is the title about
the Orthodox woman raped by an African-American man.  Other titles are
"Sotah" and "Jephte's Daughter."

Dear Ms. Leonard,
 The books of which you speak are about the Haredi Community and I 
enjoyed them immensely, although not everyone agrees with my 
assessment.  They are written by Naomi Ragen (who has her own web site at: 
http://www.NaomiRagen.com.  The book about the abusive husband is called 
"Jephte's Daughter" and the one about the rape is called "The Sacrifice of 
Tamar." You might also want to try "Sotah" about a woman "accused" of 
adultery and "The Ghost of Hannah Mendes" about a Sephardic woman who fears 
the loss of her heritage.  My wife really enjoyed the last one. Anyway, enjoy.

Regards,

Randy Belinfante
