Because there are no sidewalks, the Amish children have to walk to and from school in the road, and they often cluster in groups as they walk. “Everybody drives too fast around here,” I say. ” Samuel asks.

He’s intelligent and warm, curious about the modern world yet devoted to his own. But as curious and intelligent as Samuel is, he—like the vast majority of the Swartzentruber Amish with whom I associate— 6 p l a i n s e c re ts knows next to nothing about where his people came from.

Kathleen, at twenty-six, is six years older than Jonas. She also has a two-year-old boy at home from a brief marriage.
