But that peace is shattered by the discovery of a dead infant in the barn of an Amish farmer. A police investigation quickly leads to two startling disclosures: the newborn's mother is an unmarried Amish woman, eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher. And the infant did not die of natural causes. Although Katie denies the medical proof that she gave birth to the child, circumstantial evidence leads to her arrest for the murder of her baby.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne hundred miles away, Philadelphia defense attorney Ellie Hathaway has achieved an enviable, high-profile career. But her latest court victory has set the sands shifting beneath her. Single at thirty-nine and unsatisfied with her relationship, Ellie doesn't look back when she turns down her chance to make partner and takes off for an open-ended stay at her great-aunt's home in Paradise. Fate brings her to Katie Fisher.

As she peels away the layers of fact and fantasy, Ellie calls on an old friend for guidance. Now, just as this man from Ellie's past reenters her life, she must uncover the truth about a complex case, a tragic loss, the bonds of love -- and her own deepest fears and desires.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"English \/ Paperback; 432 pages","offer_id":53106667651388,"sku":"9781416547815","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/2826\/1692\/files\/8783aac3c32ae8fb843d7fbfe2ffca13fcb32b68df181a2c35a2b2bb52d41508.jpg?v=1780589335"},{"product_id":"forever-interrupted-by-taylor-jenkins-reid","title":"Forever, Interrupted","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHave you ever heard of supernovas?
