Expecting Amish 2014

Hannah Yoder, AJ Michalka, an 18-year-old raised in an Amish community near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is about to be baptized into the Amish church and marry Samuel, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, the young man others had chosen for her to wed. Friends urge her to try a Rumspringa, a temporary break from the strict rules of the community to explore life outside.

Hannah and some of her friends travel to Hollywood; at first she resists changing clothes or attending parties, but then she meets Josh, Jesse McCartney, a college student finishing his studies and working part-time as a DJ, and they fall in love. He asks her to stay in California to be with him. She agrees, but says she needs to go back to Pennsylvania to say goodbye to her family and her fiancé, Samuel.

Back home Hannah falls back into Amish life and wonders if she should stay. She discovers she is pregnant, and tells Samuel, who states he will say that the baby is his. They must be baptized right away, and then marry. Hannah telephones Josh to tell him she is not returning to him, and that she is pregnant and will marry Samuel.

Josh drives cross-country to try and convince Hannah to return to California with him. She is torn between Samuel and Josh, but in the end chooses to start a new life with Josh.

The film ends with Hannah’s father receiving a letter saying that Hannah had given birth to a girl, who was named after Hannah’s deceased mother. The letter is delivered to Mr Yoder, Brian Krause, marking a new chapter for the family as they navigate this unexpected turn.
