Product Description:
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 centre of the storm...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 cutures 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 re-enters her life.

- Well written - the ending is 'meh'
After you have read 2 of Picoult's novels, you realized there's a pattern and you know there will be a trial and a bit of a twist at the end. This one follows that formula right along. What I liked most about this book is all the detail she gave into the Amish life, she did an excellent research job! I hated the ending, I was surprised she left it for the very last few pages, usually she does a better job of rounding out the ending of the book. I'm still left wondering about HOW it happened, but ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful Book!
I was as mesmerized with this book, as I was with my first Jodi Picoult book that I read. This book is about an 18 year old Amish girl, Katie Fisher, who has a baby and immediately kills it (because she doesn't want to be shunned by her religion). When the dead baby is found, Katie is the number one suspect of the murder. When Katie goes to court, the judge allows her to go home until the trial, if she stays around her house and her attorney is with her at all times. Her attorney is completely ... Read More
Rating: - Suspenseful and poignant
Ellie Hathaway is an attorney living in the city with her boy friend of eight years whose ambitions override decency and justice and threatens to harden Ellie's heart until the stains of moral corruption will no longer haunt her as she climbs to the top of her profession. After one particularly difficult trial in which she argues the case of a man she knows is guilty of child molestation and sets him free, she seeks solace in Paradise, Pennsylvania where she spent many happy summers as a child. Paradise ... Read More

- so bad i'm giving up and returning it 1/2 read
my first picoult book was my sisters keeper, i loved it and immediately wanted to buy all of picoults books. i happened to get this one next and it's one of the worst books i have ever read. yet, i've kept with it, reading more than 1/2 and it's so bad and boring and unbelievable that i've put it down for the last time and plan to return it tomorrow. i've never returned a partially read book, but i don't want to support such junk. really disappointed.
Rating: - Riveting, but it's just TOO MUCH
First off, this is a fascinating story, well told. Ms. Picoult's writing style is attention-grabbing. I listened to this as a recorded book, in the car -- I can't tell you how many times I park, but sit and keep listening, because I'm not ready to leave the story!
BUT, that said, this story goes beyond the suspension of disbelief stage. There are just TOO MANY twists to the story. My dad was in a B-17 during WWII, so I wanted his opinion when "Memphis Belle" came out -- he said that perhaps ... Read More
