An inside account of a midwife's moments. Each chapter begins with the midwife's diary entry, but then is told from her daughters point of view.
When one of the midwife's patients dies due to an emergency C-section(in order to save the babies life) all heck breaks loose.
I felt really sorry for this midwife but could see mistakes that she did make. This was a tough book at times emotionally, but was very well written and very interesting.
