Swartzentruber AMISH: My Midnight Escape From One of the Strictest Settlements ft. Lovina Zook

Swartzentruber AMISH: My Midnight Escape From One of the Strictest Settlements ft. Lovina Zook

No electricity, no running water, no indoor plumbing. Lovina Zook grew up in one of the strictest Amish settlements started by her own family. It was common to marry cousins as most people there were related by blood and a woman would be considered an “old maid” if still single by 24 yrs old. Lovina discusses the hardest parts including struggling with mental heath, strict rules and not receiving any love or affection from parents of family members. As soon as she turned 18, she ran away in the middle of the night with the intention to become more than the Amish would ever allow. Lovina would then find a massive following on social media.
