As always Jodi Picoult delivers a great story with controversial topics. In this book, a young Amish girl named Katie is accused of murdering her newborn baby. A lawyer named Ellie is a distant family member of the girl and takes on the responsibility of defending Katie, who can't seem to remember what happened after the birth of the baby in the barn. Ellie learns a lot about the Amish way of life, herself, and what she needs most in life, love. Once again, Picoult adds a little twist at the VERY end, where the truth comes out from a very unexpected individual. This book was great, and definitely outshines the Lifetime movie based off of it. Can't wait for the 2011 Picoult book, less than 2 months!
