Book: Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult
Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult
from the author's website:
Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith. When a young Amish teen hides a pregnancy, gives birth in secret, and then flatly denies it all when the baby's body is found, urban defense attorney Ellie Hathaway decides to defend her. But she finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own… and discovers a place where circumstances are not always what they seem.
***************************************************************************************
This was a really great story. It was fascinating to learn more about the Amish culture. As questions about the events are answered, more mysteries unfold, which keeps you turning the pages til you get to the end. I liked the way the ending came as a surprise too, it's not one of those books where you get about half through and can pretty much predict how it's going to end.
