review 1: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! This is full of many tales of a modern midwife practicing in New Hampshireand fighting to establish her trade as legal. The tales are funny, sad and somewhere in between. The author call herself a "Mountain Woman," but she is so much more. i have always liked books about the exploits of midwives as I had my children in a hospital where they insisted I stay in bed and wouldn't let walk around. I wish there had been midwives in my time but they were illegal back then.
review 2: Very skilled writer sharing compelling stories as a midwife pioneering the way for the revival of midwifery in America. However, the author's frequent use of profanity, multiple pro-abortion comments, the frequently interjected bits of her religious beliefs (I belie... moreve Wiccan as she talks about portrayals of witches belittling her religion), and some details of her personal life required a lot of skimming over or ignoring on my part. Those are the reasons that the book was only a 3-star for me. less
