Aaron, a thirty-three-year-old single Amish man, tells us about his painful journey as he is outed when his brother accidentally discovers a pencil sketch Aaron drew of two mature men in an intimate moment. Aaron deals with his own emotions as well as his immediate family's reactions. Soon afterwards, the preachers from his church, including the presiding bishop, give the young man a list of rules to live by if he wants to remain Amish.
As his inclusion in the Amish community is threatened, he begins to find inner resources through the help of a therapist. He pushes doggedly through the strict restrictions of his faith and acceptance of his yearning for the intimacy of another man. Sheltered from any contact with homosexuals all through his youth, Aaron now tries to maintain his faith in what he has been taught and struggles constantly with what he sees as the loose morals of any gay men he gets into contact with.
The way to true love is never easy, and for a gay Amish man to find a partner who shares his values seems to be an impossible task.
Can Aaron navigate the pressures from the outside world to abandon his values and faith while trying to maintain a tenuous relationship with his family and Amish community?
The enigmatic mystique of Amish Aaron being excommunicated and yet living the life of an Amish person is disturbingly fascinating. JB, Editor
