Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult

5.0

I don't really agree with the bad reviews this has been getting. I thought it was a very gripping story and could hardly put it down. People have said that the character of Katie was confusing because she was portrayed two different ways, I think that was the point. 18 year old Amish girl going to the big city would be a very conflicting situation. I really liked Ellie and I thought she did a great job transitioning from a Philly lawyer having to go live on an Amish farm just to protect her client. I was also surprised at Sara's confession at the end but I didn't think it took anything away from the book. It just added to the theme that the Amish are a very family oriented people and this woman did what she had to do to prevent losing another child. I thought this was a great book and will continue to read books written by Jodi Picoult because she is an excellent author.
