Martha Cade has followed in her family's footsteps and has become a midwife. She serves in the small town of Trinity. She tragically lost her husband several years ago and has raised her son and daughter. When her daughter Victoria runs off her world is shatter.
She goes off to search for her daughter, and upon her return finds the town doctor has died and a new young doctor has taken his place. Martha starts to feel as if she is drowning with the new doctor, not being able to find her daughter and more. She wants to understand that God knows what is best for her but she continues to indure many trials. Through it all she leans and grows in her faith.
I very much enjoyed Ms. Parr's book. I found the story to be very entertaining. I enjoyed reading about the practices of midwifery during this time period. The story line of her and Boy is very heartbreaking. While at first I didn't like this new doctor as we learned more about him, not only did I learn to like him, but so did Martha. There was a hint of romance in the book between Martha and the town mayor Thomas.
While the book is labeled as a historical romance, I didn`t find a lot of romance in it.
This book was very good and I can't wait for the next book! I want to know more about the Doctor, the mayor and her daughter!
I received this book from Bethany House Publishers and Baker Group for
the sole purpose of this review. I was not required to write a positive
review. The opinions I have expressed are entirely my own.
