Episode description

*Trigger Warning: Some discussion of s*xual assault and incest towards the end of the episode*

This week on You're Not Paranoid, we're talking about the Amish: their religion, community, history, what it means to be Amish, the good and the bad aspects of the Amish, and so much more. We're covering this topic because next week we have a special interview with the co-author of the book "Behind Blue Curtains: A True Crime Memoir of an Amish Woman's Survival, Escape, and Pursuit of Justice", Molly Maeve Eagan. Make sure to get a copy/download of the book so you can be in the know for the interview!
