"I Had to Give up Absolutely Everything"
"And 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." The Amish: Shunned premieres on PBS American Experience on February 4, 2014.
