There's a whole fiction genre based around their lifestyle. I think many people view them as Little House on the Prairie...but this memoir reveals a very different story. Strict rules, hard-handed discipline, lack of communication--this is Emma's experience. Her retelling of her first menstrual cycle and horrifying dating experiences show that she was not adequately prepared for these things, even within their community. I like how Emma had faith in God, even though He was never spoken of in her church or family. She shares that she received Jesus as her Savior in a Baptist Church after leaving. I like how there is no rebellion or bitterness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a page-turner! *by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018* Beyond basically interesting, i'd call this a "page-turner" to read through and I found myself regretting when I'd turned the LAST page and it was over. Living in an area where many Pennsylvania Amish live, I have certainly learned that all are different and one would not find the same lifestyle and personal conduct behind all closed family doors that Emma experienced. After seeing her interview on Megan Kelly's Show, I immediately ordered her book to learn more about her personal story. I can't imagine anyone reading this and not be hoping she makes a successful "Escape" ! It's an informative story, yes, but one that will draw you deep into a world that you will be thankful Emma managed to leave! Well done, Emma! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A darn-good Eye-opener! *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2015* In her closing Q&A to this memoir Ms. Gingerich comments on the puzzling fascination of many Americans ("the English") for the lifestyle of Amish communities, and I must confess she hoisted me on that petard rather nicely. It is easy for a man to fantasize about "the simple life", to dream of conducting one's daily affairs without all the aggravations of automobiles and electronics, but when one takes up this slim volume and begins reading the author's descriptions of her Amish life the blinders that have kept reality at bay are forcefully removed. I noted as I read that from a male perspective it might still be something of an ideal world; but when I found myself picturing my daughter (whom I raised on my own for most of her young life) being forced into that life of servitude and crushing obeisance that happy little fantasy quickly turned into a nightmarish quagmire. And it's not just horse farts and dawn-to-dusk drudgery that force one to throw off a lifetime of tunnel-vision. I applaud Ms. Gingerich for the clear and convincing way she has opened my eyes and I highly recommend this book to anyone who might still be thinking as I once did that the Amish are to be admired. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/15987569-runaway-amish-girl-the-great-escape-paperback-march-10-2014](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/15987569-runaway-amish-girl-the-great-escape-paperback-march-10-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
