The Highway — Murray Pura

There was nothing the police could do - the Amish girl was of age, she was leaving the community of her own free will,
no laws had been broken. The state troopers could not force her back home even if the boy she was running from
Pennsylvania with was a suspected drugs dealer. But there was something the Amish could do - pray, hope, encourage
one another with God's Word - and ask two young people who were still in rumspringa to go after the girl and plead with
her to return to them. So a journey begins, a journey of great danger and a journey of great distances but also a journey
of great love.
