Reviews
Parr masterfully shows a mother's anguish, the range of emotions a midwife experiences on a daily basis, and the doubts even a person of deep faith can feel.

Where to Purchase
My review;I just finished reading "A Midwife's Tale", and I really liked the story. Martha Cade is following her family's need to help other mothers. Now she has 2 children of her own they are both grown, and she is a widow. She has always wanted her daughter to be a midwife like her but, she has left and wants no part of this life. Martha does not know what to do. Now she has found out that a new doctor wants to take over what she has been doing for years. Martha thinks that God has a plan for her and that he wants her to continue being a midwife. While all of this is still happening she still has faith and hope in God and what he has planned for her future. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Bethany House for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
