The Mid Wife of Hope River - Patricia Harman

Patience Murphy, a midwife struggling against disease, poverty, and prejudice—and her own haunting past—is a strong and endearing character that fans of the books of Ami McKay and Diane Chamberlain will take into their hearts, as she courageously attempts to bring new light, and life, into an otherwise cruel world.

MY THOUGHTS:  As usual I read the second book before the first book.  This is the first book of the Hope River books by Patricia Harman.  The Reluctant Mid Wife was the second book.  This book is just as good as the second one.  It gives you all the information about Patience Murphy.  Patience is running from the law.  She was an active member in the fight against the mines.  She and her husband and friends were helping get the mines unionized.  In the fight against the big mines, her husband accidentally gets killed, by Patience.  So she runs and winds up in Hope River.  You will meet all the people of Hope River.  The good and the bad ones.  Patience also meets the local Vet, Dr. Hester.  They both try to help the people of Hope River.  It's and awesome book!  Loved this book just as much as the second one.
