A unique story about midwifing in Nova Scotia in the late 1800-early 1900s. A fascinating look at Nova Scotia during that time and how the war, the changing times in medicine and the Halifax Explosion affected families. It's a work of fiction, however, the author did a great job with the local areas she covered and her character description, making them feel real and authentic.
