Reluctant Witness — Linda Markowiak

She was Amish, he was an outsider -- their love was strictly forbidden

He was a stranger among them...

Prosecutor Brent McCade understood that Sarah Yoder's Amish family and friends had her best interests at heart. But they were dead wrong when they persuaded Sarah not to prosecute the man who'd attacked her.

Sarah knew her explanation - that justice should come from a higher court - wouldn't satisfy him. And his argument was powerful. Without her help, no woman in Wheatland County - including Sarah - could feel safe again.

If she agreed to testify, was she betraying the people she loved? If she refused, was she betraying herself and the man she was falling in love with?
