Midwifery fascinates me, especially in older historical periods. I‘m also a fan of the series Call the Midwife. This book is slow burn but written very well. On an impossible winter night in Vermont, conditions are set that just happen to align for an unknowingly risky home birth. When the town midwife makes the best decision she knows, her life turns upside down. Here is a modern story of an old patriarchal ploy: controlling women‘s bodies.

I‘m not a fan of historical fiction generally, but this book is excellent! I was hooked from the start and enthralled all the way to the end. It‘s an intimate look at the state of being female in the 1700‘s in America. Powerful and well written.

Kudos to @monalyisha as I have not read anything on the list but the top book is high on my TBR. Guess this is my sign to finally read it!

Holiday shopping today? Well, if you want to give someone one of my novels with a personal inscription, simply visit in-person or online or call the Vermont Book Shop (802 388-2061) in Middlebury, VT or Phoenix Books in Burlington, VT (802 448-3350). They ship and my penmanship is fantastic. Thanks, friends!

I liked this, not as much as I have seen others here but it was a well paced, keep you reading ride. I have a fear of pregnancy and birth so midwife takes are not my go to but I liked how the story really revolves around the community and centers on a murder.
I thought it was fascinating that our MC has an adult son she doesn't really seem to like,in a time of raise them correctly they will molded the way you intend.👇

Good reading month ;)
