Very informative look at the practice of "rumspringa", the Pennsylvania Dutch word for "running around", a time when Amish youth can try out life in the "English" world, with all its temptations, before deciding to become baptised and remain in the Amish faith. The book is well- documented with many examples from the various Amish communities in the mid-West and in Pennsylvania.
