Part 1: Family and why she escaped

Riveting interviews about how Torah escaped her Amish family, moments of deciding to take her life, knowing there was potential of never seeing her life and the community she grew in, and preparing herself that she may never return to her Amish life again.

How she has reunited with her family after 20 years, and how she has reunited with her father. She has been working with Professor Joan Van Dyke https://www.vandykeandcompany.com/ and created a ballet about the Amish.
