This is an Oprah Book Club book. It tells the story of a Vermont midwife named Sibyl from the standpoint of her daughter. After an emergency C-Section on a Mom Sibyl believes has died of stroke, it becomes uncertain if her patient was truly dead. Superbly crafted and powerful novel. This book has both quiet drama and courtroom thrills.
