Delving deep inside the world of those who live 'plain,' Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. Her books Change of Heart (2008), Handle with Care (2009), and House Rules (2010) also topped the list. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide-and for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own.

The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. I always like books set in Amish country.
