The Amish: Shunned - "I Had to Give up Absolutely Everything"

"I had been seeking God from the age of ten to the age of 41. Thirty years time. There was still that emptiness, and I came to the realization that there has to be more in life than what I am experiencing. There simply has to be more." A woman with dwarfism describes her questions and doubts about the Amish culture she was raised in during this excerpt from American Experience: "The Amish - Shunned."
