Unedited Interview with Sam Miller, author of "Memoir:Reasons Why I Left The Amish Community."

This was an amazing conversation with Sam Miller. I hope you enjoy it. It’s not uncommon to see an Amish horse-drawn buggy in the North Country or to see Amish folks shopping in local businesses or grocery stores. And while they’ visible, they’re lifestyle is still somewhat unknown to many of us. In a new book, “Memoir: Reasons Why I Left the Amish Community” Sam Miller shares his story of leaving his family and what that journey has looked like for more than a decade. https://www.amazon.com/Memoir-Reasons-Left-Amish-Community/dp/1639373101
