The Midwife's Tale (At Home in Trinity Book #1)
Martha Cade comes from a long line of midwives who have served
the families of Trinity, Pennsylvania, for generations. A widow
with two grown children, she's hopeful that her daughter will
follow in her footsteps, but when Victoria runs off, Martha's world
is shattered.
Worse, a new doctor has arrived in town, threatening her job, and
she can't remember a time when her faith has been tested more.
Still determined to do the work she knows God intended for her,
Martha is unprepared for all that waits ahead. Whether it's trying
to stop a town scandal, mending broken relationships, or feeling
the first whispers of an unexpected romance, she faces every trial
and every opportunity with hope and faith.
