Young Jason Esh follows the maneuvers and happenings of the life around him in "A Time to Live" as his father threatens to leave the Amish faith and his grandfather decides what to do about it. From Canada to Honduras, a family matter turns into a community matter and life will never be quite the same. This is the penetrating story of the Amish psyche from someone who lived it. It is a frank assessment of both the beautiful Amish ideals and the irksome legalisms that often undermine those ideals.
