This story is really gripping and thought provoking. It is told from a daughter's viewpoint and digs into the reasons her mother became a midwife. Because I am of the generation who had their babies in a hospital with plenty of painkillers, it was quite an eye-opener to read about the natural birth process. I found this story a page-turner that was more fascinating than I expected.
