Book Review of Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life

Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 10


This is a very personal story. Still, since there's so little opportunity to see inside such a unique and closed society I found it worthwhile. There were a good many very specific examples of what Amish experience was like for one family and community.

I wouldn't take the family Garrett describes as typical and I'll look forward to other accounts of Amish society to complete my education.
