I am rather ambivalent about this book. Author comes off as kind of whiny and I got really tired of reading about her problems sleeping. On the other hand, this is also a very honest memoir of being a woman, a midwife, a mother, a mate and a doctor's wife. There are compelling tales of her patients woven between the aspects of her life and that is what kept me reading.
