Hello All, so I like a lot of documentaries and recently became obsessed with the Amish community. The show Amish out of order that comes on The National Geographic Channel, which is not one of the fake ones by the way, it's the perfect show to watch if you’re intrigued by their community.
This show follows a group of young Amish kids that are exploring their freedom by leaving the Amish community and living with the “English”. The show follows them having to get job, their fascination with cars, and what it’s like to be ex-communicated from everything they've ever known. This show is a great documentary. It doesn't glorify the community, it doesn't just let them talk; it shows how their life really is. It deals death, drugs, and love. I have the perfect book that complements this show.
Title: Temptation
Author: Karen Ann Hopkins
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Release Date: June 26, 2012
After watching this show I discovered a book titled Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins that shows forbidden love in the Amish community. He’s Amish and she is not, what consequences will their love bring. This book answers a lot of question about the Amish community, what’s it’s like to be a teen, how they view outsiders, their views, and just the generally way they live life.
If you are a fascinated by the Amish community or this was your first introduction into the culture than
Temptation is the perfect book.
