Summary
A remarkable new voice in American fiction enchants readers with a moving and uplifting novel that celebrates the miracle of life. In The Midwife of Hope River, first-time novelist Patricia Harmon transports us to poverty stricken Appalachia during the Great Depression years of the 1930s and introduces us to a truly unforgettable heroine. Patience Murphy, a midwife struggling against disease, poverty, and prejudice—and her own haunting past—is a strong and endearing character that fans of the books of Ami McKay and Diane Chamberlain will take into their hearts, as she courageously attempts to bring new light, and life, into an otherwise cruel world.

Lovely story- full of heart felt love and loss. The stories of each birth gives you insight to life as it was in the 1930's. Patience, the new midwife takes you on her journey of healing through births in a small town seeking acceptance and peace. Midwife of Hope River is a wonderful story that is touching and very relatable

This is a good story! The narrator does a good job. It gives you a good idea about what it would be like to live in the 1920's.
