Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The main character of this book, Katie, belongs to a very strict religion. What religion is this?

Answer: She's Amish.

Katie is devout Amish so it's surprising that the state of Pennsylvania is charging her with murder. The Amish are known to be peaceful people who stick to themselves and would never cause harm to another.
2. In the beginning of the book, does Katie believe that she had a baby?

Answer: No

Katie is adamant in her belief that she did not have a baby. No-one in her family knew she was pregnant so when the dead baby was found in her family's barn, no one suspected her.
3. Who got Katie pregnant?

Answer: Adam

Jacob is Katie's brother. He rents out an apartment from Adam and while Katie is visiting Jacob, she meets Adam and starts a secret romance with him.

Katie is also dating Samuel, a Amish man who works for her father. He is very upset when he realizes that Katie cheated on him but forgives her in the end.
4. What college does Jacob go to?

Answer: Penn State

Jacob goes to Penn State in State College. Jacob is an English major who had to choose between furthering his education or his family. When Jacob decides to go to college, he is shunned by the Church. Katie's mother doesn't want to go against her husband so she secretly sends Katie to visit Jacob to make sure that he is doing okay.
5. What does Adam do for a living?

Answer: He is a paranormal investigator.

When Katie meets Adam, he has just got his Ph.D. from Penn State in parapsychology. Katie is interested in this field because she often sees the ghost of her sister who died a few years ago. Adam received his Master's degree from M.I.T. in Physics but he doesn't do anything in that field.
6. Why does Ellie look after Katie while she is out on parole?

Answer: Because her parents won't accept responsibility for her.

Ellie volunteers to look after Katie after her parents refuse to accept responsibility for her. Her father is ashamed by her actions and the spotlight that she is putting on the Amish community. She also feels some responsibility towards Katie because they are distant relatives.

Ellie has a hard time living on the Amish farm in the beginning because she is from the city.
7. How is Katie punished for the crime of killing her baby?

Answer: She is placed under house arrest for a year.

Katie takes a plea bargain from the prosecutor for two years to five but the judge feels that the Amish community has already suffered enough from this incident and gives Katie a year on house arrest. Even though Katie didn't kill her baby, she feels that it's better to accept a punishment so she can move on with her life. That is the way it is done in the Amish community.
8. How did the baby really die?

Answer: Katie's mother killed him.

Although Ellie says that the cause of death was due to his being infected with listeriosis, he was really murdered by Katie's mother. At the end of the book, she gives Ellie the scissors used to cut the baby's cord and tells her that she couldn't bear the loss of another child being shunned by her husband so she killed the baby.
9. Do Katie and Adam get back together at the end of the book?

Answer: No

Katie and Adam decide that they could never be together as a couple because neither could ask the other to leave their life behind. Katie stays with her family and Adam goes back to Scotland. After Adam leaves, Samuel tells Katie that he will wait for her until she is ready to marry him.
10. At the end of the book, who is pregnant?

Answer: Ellie

Ellie has had a hard time getting pregnant so it was really difficult for her to defend Katie. She has just started dating Coop so she didn't think she would get pregnant and is shocked when Katie tells her that she thinks that she is pregnant and not just sick.
