Plain Truth Book

I thought this book was pretty crummy even though it was a page-turner. I really wanted to know what happens to Katie, and what happened to the baby so I kept reading, but I didn't really enjoy the experience--I won't be reading again. Too much filler, not enough book.

Specifically:
* It's set among the Amish. However, I get the feeling the author doesn't really understand them, she just thought it'd be a cool setting. That irritates me.
* It's full of overused elements, such "city girl goes to farm", "taking break from evilness ambition brings us", "rekindled flame." Some of the dialog is the pretty dumb "You're afraid this relationship might work" sort of thing. Because of this, you can see where it's going miles down the road. Now, I re-read books, so this isn't itself a killer, when I like the trip.
* It has ghosts. What's up with that? Not in a freaky arty Beloved way, but just casually thrown in there.
* The language is unnecessarily descriptive. You'd think she was being paid by the word.

It did make me think of A Jury of Her Peers, which is worth reading. (And much shorter--that link is to the full text.)
