Progressive Rising Phoenix Press Kicks of 2014 with Author Emma Gingerich

FORT WORTH, Texas - Jan. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Gingerich was born in Ohio, but spent her teen years in Eagleville, Mo. She grew up in a world where modern technology didn't exist. Her education left in the hands of others, would have been cut short. According to Emma, her only purpose in life was to produce a family: a  grim future for any teen. Gingerich fled her Amish community seven years ago, at the age of eighteen. She managed to keep her plan a secret from her parents, five brothers and eight sisters.

Her story discusses the pressures that forced her to leave, the emotional turmoil that she endured, and the destruction of her family. Her desire for additional education, combined with a willingness to maintain a relationship with her family is gut wrenching. The memoir gives readers a rare glimpse of what her life has been like growing up Amish, leaving against her families will, and adjusting to a modern world.

Gingerich earned an associate’s degree from Texas State Technical College in Harlingen, and is currently attending Tarleton State University in Stephenville.
Emma signed with Progressive Rising Phoenix Press, and her memoir RUNAWAY AMISH GIRL: The Great Escape will be released in 2014.
