Her memoir Runaway Amish Girl: The Great Escape captivates even the timid listener. Disagreeing with the beliefs of Amish traditions and upbringing, the pressure became too much for her to bear. Forced to make a personal decision, Emma found the courage to leave the only life she had ever known. She had no idea the emotional turmoil she'd inflict on her family and friends. The emotional reactions of her parents, brothers, and sisters, were gut- wrenching. Considered no longer a daughter or a sister, temporarily exiled, Emma found a way to be free. Education became her priority as she found her place in the "English" world. This true story is a rare glimpse into the life of a brave young woman. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Gingerich, Emma J.,|d1987- 600 10 Gingerich, Emma J.,|d1987-|xChildhood and youth. 600 10 Gingerich, Emma J.,|d1987-|xFamily. 650 0 Runaway teenagers. 650 0 Amish|zMissouri|vBiography. 650 0 Amish|zMissouri|xSocial life and customs. 650 0 Parent and child|zMissouri. 650 0 Families|zMissouri. 650 0 Ex-church members|xAmish|vBiography. 700 1 Bentley, Amy Melissa. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT12301815
