Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain," Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. 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. 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. The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. From the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper comes the riveting story of a murder that shatters the picturesque calm of Amish country-and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer defending the woman at the center of the storm. ![]()

People with the wrong manners or even the wrong name are shunned. From the beginning, though, we learn that there are certain social manners that are “required” to be followed. It is a town of predominately middle-aged, middle-class women, most of whom are spinsters or widows. I think what I disliked most about Cranford-the-town was the superficiality of all the people. ![]() I definitely want to read more of Gaskell’s writing. Some day, I think I’ll revisit this book.

Days after Cowan confessed to killing the child and was charged - you can watch a remarkable short video clip of the actual arrest here - law enforcement finally found the evidence they'd hoped for to push forward a prosecution: Morcombe's remains. The book details the covert scheme that ultimately led to a secretly recorded confession by Cowan, an original person of interest in the high-profile case who had earlier denied any involvement in the boy's disappearance. The film is based on crime reporter Kate Kyriacou's book The Sting: The Undercover Operation That Caught Daniel Morcombe's Killer. Eight years later, his killer, known pedophile Brett Peter Cowan, was finally arrested and charged. ![]() The Stranger is a fictionalized account of the massive real-life manhunt for the killer of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe, who was abducted on Queensland's Sunshine Coast in 2003 while on his way to buy Christmas presents for his family at a local shopping mall. ![]() What true story is The Stranger based on? ![]() ![]() ![]() I looked upon the scene before me -upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain -upon the bleak walls -upon the vacant eye-like windows -upon a few rank sedges -and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees -with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium -the bitter lapse into everyday life -the hideous dropping off of the veil. I say insufferable for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I know not how it was -but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The Mutt by Kasia Bacon![]() A soldier’s body-well-honed, fed and rested-served as their primary weapon.
