"haunting, provocative and unexpected" - Kenneth Turan, LA Times
On the day of their sixteenth birthdays, every Amish child is given free reign to explore all the conveniences and temptations of life in the outside "English" world, during a crucial period in their lives known as Rumspringa.
Once exposed to modern technologies like cars and cable television-along with rock concerts and keg parties-these teenagers' choice is both simple and profoundly difficult. DO they embrace the constraints of the Amish religion and rejoin the church, or do they turn away from their families and community to live on their own in our "modern" society?
