Description

'Picoult writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships' - The Boston GlobeMoving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a triumph of contemporary storytelling. Jodi Picoult presents a fascinating portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith - and discovers a place where circumstances are not always what they seem, where love meets falsehood, and where relationships grow strong enough to transcend death.When Ellie Hathaway decides to defend an unmarried Amish woman against the charge of the murder of her own child, the urban-savvy defence attorney finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own. Plain Truth is the extraordinary story of two unforgettable women - and what happens when their disparate worlds collide.Jodi Picoult received a degree in creative writing from Princeton and a Master's degree in education from Harvard. She has touched readers deeply with her acclaimed novels, The Pactand Nineteen Minutes. Jodi lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three children.

Karyn, IF you are saying that you're trying to download books from the Reading Room, then there isnt a way to download from this particular site. This is mostly a place where everyone shares the books they're reading, add to your book shelves, etc. Only books that can be read here are out of copyright. Click on the preview books at the top. :0)

The ending wasn't the surprise I think she was striving for. That being said (I don't want to spoil the book for others) I felt the book wasn't her best work by far. It seemed a bit awkward at times, as if she didn't know where she was going and the ending was just plopped on our laps. That's how I felt in any case. :)

I've decided to give Jodi Picoult another try. The last book of hers I read was, 'Change Of Heart" and I was disappointed. I'm going to read, "Plain Truth" by Jodi Picoult. Many people review her as a good Author. This is my second book of Jodi's....I'll get back to you with my review later.......Banjo

I loved Plain Truth, great novel, felt the 18 year old was treated like a younger child tho, often forgot she was a young adult.

I loved The Pact.

I finished the book, "Plain Truth" by Jodi Picoult. tTe book was fabulous. It was a wonderful story about an Amish family who's eighteen year old daughter was charged with first degree murder. The victim was her newborn baby boy, stuffed under some horse blankets in the barn.

After the infant was found Katie denied having a baby. A short time later standing on the landing of her porch talking to someone who just seen the baby dead, seen blood running down Katie’s leg. She started screaming... more

I have only read three books by JP but enjoyed them all, may have to buy this one too. Have you read any of Diane Chamberlain Banjo, pretty much writes in the same way.
