Book excerpt: Unexpected Arrival Autumn Hazard loves being a midwife. But a tragic loss has her doubting the path she's chosen. And her new boss isn't helping. She's worked with Dr. Jonathan Hanlon before, and he's just as handsome and seemingly perfect as ever. His presence could mean trouble for the clinic--and her sensible heart. Jon remembers Autumn, too. She's still beautiful, smart and oblivious to him. Maybe that's for the best--he's leaving the small town as soon as his training's done. Besides, he has secrets of his own, and he can't risk Autumn getting close enough to uncover them. Yet despite all their reservations, working beside each other doesn't feel like work at all...it feels like home.
Download or read book The Last Midwife written by Sandra Dallas and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Sandra Dallas's incomparable gift for creating a sense of time and place and characters that capture your heart, The Last Midwife tells the story of family, community, and the secrets that can destroy and unite them. It is 1880 and Gracy Brookens is the only midwife in a small Colorado mining town where she has delivered hundreds, maybe thousands, of babies in her lifetime. The women of Swandyke trust and depend on Gracy, and most couldn't imagine getting through pregnancy and labor without her by their sides. But everything changes when a baby is found dead...and the evidence points to Gracy as the murderer. She didn't commit the crime, but clearing her name isn't so easy when her innocence is not quite as simple, either. She knows things, and that's dangerous. Invited into her neighbors' homes during their most intimate and vulnerable times, she can't help what she sees and hears. A woman sometimes says things in the birthing bed, when life and death seem suspended within the same moment. Gracy has always tucked those revelations away, even the confessions that have cast shadows on her heart. With her friends taking sides and a trial looming, Gracy must decide whether it's worth risking everything to prove her innocence. And she knows that her years of discretion may simply demand too high a price now...especially since she's been keeping more than a few dark secrets of her own.

Book excerpt: This story is based on real facts, and written out of admiration for the author's own parents. It begins with a six-year-old girl in a small town in Minnesota. She was born in Norway, in 1889. She emigrated to the United States at the age of one year, with her parents and siblings. The town doctor and his wife had no children, but took the little girl along on his rounds to the country, (with horse and buggy). She went along with this small town doctor on his country visits, whenever he asked her to come along. Later she actually worked for him, until she married. She put to use all she had learned from him. She was not only a midwife, but did many other health care deeds, also. Not only for her family, but for many others along her path of life. When she married, she and her husband moved to a small town in Eastern North Dakota where they owned and operated a CafA(c). Later they moved to their homestead, on the prairies of Western North Dakota. All in all, these were hard times, and life could be tough. There was an abundance of sadness, but happiness usually prevailed. A beautiful and inspiring pioneer story...

Even as the city suffers at the rebels' hands, midwife Bridget Hodgson becomes embroiled in a different sort of rebellion. One of Bridget's friends, Esther Cooper, has been convicted of murdering her husband and sentenced to be burnt alive. Convinced that her friend is innocent, Bridget sets out to find the real killer. Bridget joins forces with Martha Hawkins, a servant who's far more skilled with a knife than any respectable woman ought to be. To save Esther from the stake, they must dodge rebel artillery, confront a murderous figure from Martha's past, and capture a brutal killer who will stop at nothing to cover his tracks. The investigation takes Bridget and Martha from the homes of the city's most powerful families to the alleyways of its poorest neighborhoods. As they delve into the life of Esther's murdered husband, they discover that his ostentatious Puritanism hid a deeply sinister secret life, and that far too often tyranny and treason go hand in hand.
