A young woman who was raised Amish, but who left the community at age 15, tells her story. This is an interview by Tim Ferris (the time-management guru) -- not what I expected to see at his blog at all, but I assume it's genuine.

Update: An interesting discussion has developed in the comments to this post. Also, part two is now up.

This is quite interesting. Thank you, Enbar.

Thanks for this clip enbar. I have just finished reading part two plus the comments.

Her story has a certain resonance for me as I was raised under very similar circumstanes, although not bt an Amish family.

I run away to the big city (Toronto) when I was thirteen, and never returned.
