(  ) DF1A_ShivaniP | Dec 18, 2009 |  2005  katiemertz | Nov 20, 2009 | In an Amish setting, it is intriguing to learn of their cultural differences. This book will keep you in suspense until the very end. (  ) MissScheidt | Nov 15, 2009 | Excellent whyteb | Nov 8, 2009 | I did not enjoy this book as much as the couple of other Jodi Picoult books I have read. The other books seemed to have heartwrenching moral issues that this one didn't have for me. It was more like the sort of whodunits that fill out the majority of my reading material. I like the Picoult's for a change of pace, which it was, and while I still enjoyed it - it was not my favorite. I may have actually liked it more before the last two pages - I think I would have preferred to come to my own conclusion in this story. I have 2 more Picoults waiting for me on my TBR shelve - and still looking forward to them. (  ) she_climber | Oct 11, 2009 |  brak recenzji | dodaj recenzję
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0671776134, Paperback) A shocking murder shatters the picturesque calm of Pennsylvania's Amish country -- and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer who steps in to defend the young woman at the center of the storm.... Plain Truth The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: circumstantial evidence suggests that eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide -- and, for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain," Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within -- to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life. Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life -- and a moving exploration of the bonds of love, friendship, and the heart's most complex choices.
