She ran away. She lived like a fugitive. She evaded capture.
She made a new life for herself.
Born into an Amish community in Pennsylvania, Emma felt out of place from a very young age.
Some of the rules didn't seem logical. Some of the practices didn't make sense. And when she wanted to talk about her doubts, they said her thoughts came from the devil.
You will marvel at the strength of character and the courage this young woman called upon to escape an oppressive community, and make a new life for herself and her children.
"The transition from Amish life to life in the world was a difficult one to say the least. There were lots of hurdles to overcome. Many times I had great desire to go home to my family, however, knowing that I could not live a life that I didn’t believe was right for me helped me to forge ahead."
