Woah. This was a great read! I loved the twists and turns that the book took, especially given the ties to the Amish community. Again--Picoult always does her research so it's interesting to learn a few facts along the way. The ending was…

I have become a big fan of Jodi Picoult novels. I really enjoyed Plain Truth and had trouble putting it down. I found that the wonderful descriptions of the Amish community and characters very interesting. Combined with the English…

Once again, we are invited into the hearts and minds of people with whom we would never have become so well acquainted had Jodi Picoult not done her research so well, and had she not led us to see and feel how the situation is viewed by…

Another excellent book by Picoult. Lots of background information on the Amish way of life. The ending came as a surprise for me, although, based on their culture and religion, it should not have. The cultures that give the Male the…

I think this was one of Jodi Picoult's best novels. Really descriptive, well thought out, and the story line was so original. Wonderful book. A little disturbing at the ending though.
