Plain Truth

top 一個發生在Amish社區的穀倉內初生嬰兒被發現死亡的案件談起，究竟是生母意外還是刻意導致該嬰兒死亡？就如同每天發生在我們四週一樣，我們往往對我們越深愛的人越容易陷入忽略溝通或不溝通而產生的誤解及錯誤中渡過，而在往後後悔一輩子，甚至一輩子不得解。但這不就是身為『人』該有的人生矛盾及經歷嗎？Plain Turth是茱迪•皮考特早期作品，讀者所熟悉，在My Sister’s Keeper中，皮考特對於人的本質 - 矛盾的詮釋與興趣已經顯現。 A shocking murder shatters the picturesque calm of Pennsylvania’s Amish country -- and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer who steps in to defend the young woman at the center of the storm.... Plain Truth The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: circumstantial evidence suggests that eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn’s mother, took the child’s life. 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. Delving deep inside the world of those who live ”plain,” Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within -- to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life. Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life -- and a moving exploration of the bonds of love, friendship, and the heart’s most complex choices.
