Plain Truth

De: Jodi Picoult

Narrado por: Christina Moore, Suzanne Toren

From the best-selling author of My Sister's Keeper 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 18-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.

Great story line

Interesting plot twists and turns. Enjoyed the pace and details shared. Enjoyed listening to the story and had a hard time putting the book down.

Fantastic yet sad story

Absolutely captivating! This is my first book by this author....now I want to read every one of her books!

Riveting!!!

I grew up in Lancaster and after college I moved away. So, it was great to learn more of the Amish culture. As all of Jodi’s books, this too was fast paced and full of twists. I was on the edge of my seat and could not put this down. I loved it and told my sister she has to read this next! Thank you!

Mind blowing ending!

I was pulled in , constantly wondering what was going to happen next! I never expected it to end the way it did! OMG! It's like a cliff hanger. What will the attorney end up doing?

enlightening

WARNING
Why too much Supernatural

I have read a number of books about the Amish, nonfiction and fiction.. although there were a couple of errors in this book Oh, wrong color for quilts and giving a longer history to then they have, I realized something that I had never realized before, namely the Deep sense of community. so different from mainstream Society.

Great book.
