The midwife of Hope River - Patricia Harman

As a midwife working in rural poverty during
the Depression, Patience Murphy's only solace is her gift: the chance
to escort mothers through the challenges of childbirth. Just beginning,
she takes on the jobs no one else wants: those most in need-and least
likely to pay. Patience is willing to do what it takes to fulfil her
mentor's wishes, but starting a midwife practice means gaining trust,
and Patience's secrets won't allow her to let anyone in.The Midwife of Hope River beats
with authenticity as Patience faces seemingly insurmountable
conditions: disease, poverty, and prejudices threaten at every turn.
From the dangerous mines of West Virginia to the terrifying attentions
of the Ku Klux Klan, Patience must strive to bring new light, and life,
into an otherwise cruel world.
