But her latest court "victory" has set the sands shifting beneath her. One hundred miles away, Philadelphia defense attorney Ellie Hathaway has achieved an enviable, high-profile career. Although Katie denies the medical proof that she gave birth to the child, circumstantial evidence leads to her arrest for the murder of her baby. And the infant did not die of natural causes. A police investigation quickly leads to two startling disclosures: the newborn's mother is an unmarried Amish woman, eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher. But that peace is shattered by the discovery of a dead infant in the barn of an Amish farmer. The small town of Paradise, Pennsylvania, is a jewel in Lancaster County - known for its picture-postcard landscapes and bucolic lifestyle.
Jodi Picoult has touched readers deeply with her acclaimed novels, such as "Keeping Faith" and "The Pact." Gifted with "a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings" "(People)," Picoult now explores the complex choices of the heart for a young Amish woman - the compelling journey of discovery for an urban lawyer who befriends and protects her.
