Rumspringa is an in-depth study of the Amish practice of the same name, where Amish teenagers have the opportunity to experience the world outside their community before deciding whether they want to be baptized into the Amish church. Tom Shachtman explores this rite of passage, examining its impact on young Amish people and the community at large. The book offers an intimate look at the customs, traditions, and challenges faced by Amish teenagers during this period of transition.
