This was a very interesting piece of historical fiction. Taking place in the frontier of Pennsylvania in the 1830s, the book features midwife and natural healer, widow Martha Cade, as she tends to the health of the women of her village of Trinity, butts heads with the new, young doctor who looks down on the traditional methods she employs, and helps smooth the waters of discontent in her small village. Very well researched, well written and plotted from start to finish. This was such an enjoyable read that I hated to see it end. But I am now into the sequel, "Home to Trinity" and I am delighted to be able to spend more time in Trinity, Pennsylvania. This is a unique book that I strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
