Plain Truth centers on Katie Fisher, an eighteen-year-old Amish girl accused of murdering her newborn baby. When high-powered attorney Ellie Hathaway agrees to defend her, she must immerse herself in a community bound by silence, tradition, and faith. Living on the farm during the trial, Ellie uncovers layers of secrecy and emotional conflict, forcing both women to confront painful truths about motherhood, justice, and personal conviction. The novel explores the collision between modern law and religious values, with a haunting twist that redefines guilt and protection.

Handle with Care tells the story of Charlotte OKeefe, whose daughter Willow is born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare condition that makes her bones dangerously fragile. Faced with mounting medical costs and emotional strain, Charlotte sues her best friend and obstetrician for wrongful birthclaiming she would have terminated the pregnancy had she known earlier. The lawsuit fractures relationships and raises profound ethical questions about love, sacrifice, and the value of life. Through multiple perspectives, the novel examines the cost of truth and the heartbreak of impossible choices.
