This book features a good story told through an interesting perspective. A lay midwife loses a laboring mother and faces criminal charges. The story is told from her teenaged daughter's point of view. The reading goes fast, because the reader wants to find out what ultimately happens to a well-intended person who may have made a tragic error in judgment.
