Midwife Patience Murphy has a gift: a talent for escorting
mothers through the challenges of bringing children into the
world. Working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia
during the Depression, Patience takes the jobs that no one
else wants, helping those most in need—and least likely to
pay. She knows a successful midwifery practice must be built
on a foundation of openness and trust—but the secrets
Patience is keeping are far too intimate and fragile for her
to ever let anyone in. Honest, moving, and beautifully detailed, Patricia Harman's
The Midwife of Hope River rings with authenticity as
Patience faces nearly insurmountable difficulties. From the
dangerous mines of West Virginia to the terrifying
attentions of the Ku Klux Klan, Patience must strive to
bring new light and life into an otherwise hard world.
