Very enjoyable, much more than I expected, and very well written. The author was a midwife in West Virginia where the novel takes place, and the story occurs right after the crash of 1929. Set against a background of true historical events such as mine disasters and the fight to have labor unions, there is a lot more to this book than just "birthin babies".
