About this show

Trading in buggies, green pastures and the strict rules of their rural communities for the beaches of Los Angeles, a new cast of young Amish and Mennonite men and women come together to determine if they're really ready to embark on a new life among the "English," or if they should return to the faiths and families they've left behind.

For years the media have infiltrated the Amish. Every chance they get is used to split children and tear up families. We would never know how they would have kids of their own to tuck in and sleep at night.
