USA TODAY bestselling author Patricia Harman has created an unforgettable follow-up to THE MIDWIFE OF HOPE RIVER, where she once again creates a beautifully imagined story, full of humor and human warmth...this is a story that teems with life. In West Virginia during the Great Depression times are hard. Men are out of work; women are faced with hungry children. And Nurse Becky Myers is there to help. But there is one thing she resists: midwifery. That she leaves to her dear friend Patience Murphy. Becky has returned to Hope River with anything but hope in her heart. She's accompanied by her former employer Dr Isaac Blum, but tragedy has turned him from vibrant physician to a shell of his former self. And Patience, now married and expecting a baby herself, is relying on Becky to keep the mothers of Hope River safe. This is the unforgettable story of how Becky reshapes her life, first as a reluctant assistant in Patience's midwifery, later as a heroic nurse dealing with a calamitous forest fire at a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. The gradual restoration to life of Isaac is beautifully and movingly managed. Told in a pitch-perfect voice, with humor, compassion, and embracing the joy of the human spirit, this novel is a perfect follow up to THE MIDWIFE OF HOPE RIVER.
