false <![CDATA[Plain Truth]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166668457m/14864.jpg 14864 31 From the bestselling author of <i>My Sister's Keeper</i> comes the riveting story of a murder that shatters the picturesque calm of Amish country -- and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer defending the woman at the center 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 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. 3375925 book 2000 Plain Truth total:18503|5:4995|4:7852|3:4644|2:879|1:133| 18503 72206 23656 2460 4 10 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 21:27:20 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 18 16:16:55 -0800 2007
