This story centres around a murder which takes place in an Amish community in Pennsylvania. An 18 year old single Amish girl falls pregnant and gives birth in secret but denies it when the body of the baby is found concealed in a barn. Ellie Hathaway, an attorney and family friend, comes to defend her but is up against the prosecution who have a strong case and also the principles of the Amish faith. The clash of cultures make it almost impossible for Ellie to defend Katie the way she feels is best for her.
An excellent story which gives great insight and understanding of Amish culture and religious beliefs. The characters are strong and totally believable and I was hooked from the first page.
