I just read and published all the comments submitted since April. I was buried in the flow of writing and put the blog on the sidelines.
Thank you, all of you, for the wonderful, supportive comments you made. It gives me extra juice for writing and re-confirms the great need for someone to present a well-rounded account of the Amish, in the hopes that assistance will be provided in areas of need within the community. The Amish, just like any other culture, experience the not-so-good sides of life, too.
Your feedback helps me stay on the track toward completing the book.
Thank you,
Torah
About Me
- Torah Bontrager
- New York, NY, United States
- I graduated from Columbia University in 2007, and now I'm writing a book about my escape from the Amish when I was 15. This includes my experiences pre- and post-escape. One of my friends suggested that I keep a blog during the writing process. I won't respond to any comments while I'm writing (except press/media-related inquiries), no matter how tempting. Otherwise, the book will never get written. Please know, however, that I read and appreciate each email I receive and that you might find an answer to some of your questions via this blog.

Hi Torah,
A few nights ago I watched the ABC show "the outsiders." They followed Amish runaways and explained the process of rumspringa.
I was intrigued enough to read more and discovered your interview. It's an inspiring story.
I was impressed with your following your dream of further education and now helping others!
God bless you!
