I loved this book! Very engaging, I couldn't put it down and read it all night long. The story is about a midwife in the 70's, who has a woman die on her during a home birth. She is subsequently sued by the family, and has a court battle and personal battle to fight. It is written from her daughter's point of view and includes her journal entries. Well written and reads like a true story!
