After having found some fresh hay to lie down on, Katie Fisher gave birth in the barn to a little boy where she then fell asleep with the newborn in her arms. When she woke up, the infant was gone.

But she finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly differe...
I have to give this book 4 stars because the story was informative and interesting and wrapped itself around my heart strings from the first page. How could I sympathize with a (girl) who might/might not have killed her baby? But sympathize I did, over and over. Picoult made me understand how the...
An interesting story with a lot of twists. Heartbreaking moments when the mother confesses and when she's subjected to cross-examination by the prosecution. I liked it but I'm not sure I liked the deliberate manipulation.

I like the way Jodi writes. It is easy to read with a familiar feel as she writes about the Amish. The plot is easy to follow, yet brings in the practical everyday life into play.
