I bailed out of this one after about four chapters. It just didn't grab me. Though, I think a midwife's calling is noble this book was just boring. I read enough to know that the girl's mother was on trial for causing a death but it kept jumping back and forth between different time periods. I also have to admit I had a hard timing dealing with a male writer trying to take on a teenage girl persona.
