About On the Outside Looking Indian: How My Second Childhood Changed My Life
There is a phenomenon in Amish culture called Rumspringa, where Amish adolescents are permitted to break free from the traditional lifestyle to indulge in taboo activities. At the end they decide if they will return to join the church. In that spirit, 30-year-old Rupinder Gill decided to explore a life she never knew growing up in a traditional Indian household, and explore a more 'tradition' North American adolescent experience. This memoir reads like A.J. Jacobs crossed with Russell Peters.
