THE RELUCTANT MIDWIFE

Author Book List

The USA Today bestselling author of The Midwife of Hope
River
returns with a heartfelt sequel, a novel teeming with life
and full
of humor and warmth, one that celebrates the human spirit.

The Great Depression has hit West Virginia hard. Men are
out of
work; women struggle to feed hungry children. Luckily,
Nurse Becky
Myers has returned to care for them. While she can handle
most
situations, Becky is still uneasy helping women deliver
their
babies. For these mothers-to-be, she relies on an
experienced
midwife, her dear friend Patience Murphy.

Though she is happy to be back in Hope River, time and
experience
have tempered Becky’s cheerfulness-as tragedy has
destroyed the
vibrant spirit of her former employer Dr Isaac Blum, who
has
accompanied her. Patience too has changed. Married and
expecting a
baby herself, she is relying on Becky to keep the mothers
of Hope
River safe.

But becoming a midwife and ushering precious new life into
the
world is not Becky’s only challenge. Her skills and
courage will be
tested when a calamitous forest fire blazes through a
Civilian
Conservation Corps camp. And she must find a way to bring
Isaac
back to life and rediscover the hope they both need to go
on.

Full of humor and compassion, The Reluctant Midwife is a
moving
tribute to the power of optimism and love to overcome the
most
trying circumstances and times, and is sure to please fans
of the
poignant Call the Midwife series.
