An Amish baby dies… at the hands of his mother?? No way! I was hooked from the beginning. Picoult provided thoughtful insight to the Amish culture that I had never thought about prior to reading this novel. The ghosts/spirits in the book gave me pause, but as I continued to read I could see how it worked with the storyline, tho I don’t like reading about ghosts. I always enjoy the courtroom banter in Picoult’s books and this one was no different.
