Torah Bontrager, born and raised traditional Amish, speaks English as a second language and grew up with no electricity, no TV, no radio, no Internet, no cars, and up until the age of 10, no running hot water and no indoor bathroom.

She's the author of Amish Girl in Manhattan (a crime memoir) and is, to her knowledge, the first--and so far, only--Amish escapee to graduate from an Ivy League school.

Torah's story and work have been featured on Tim Ferriss' blog, Forbes.com, NPR, MTV, and HuffPost. She has a BA in Philosophy from Columbia University in New York City, and now advocates for the right of Amish women and children to go to school beyond the 8th grade.
