The Midwife’s Secret

I liked the book and learned something about midwifery.
I thought it was a good read.
Happy Reading!

Compelling story

But genealogy was confusing. Reading it as an ebook on my phone, the chart in front was too small to be readable and helpful. Well written, interesting characters.

Awesome book

Going back in time to connect the past to the present can be difficult but this book with its unique story was easy to follow and had me reading nonstop!
