ABOUT THE BOOK

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.

My Thoughts:
Historical Romance isn't typically my favorite genre to read; however, I appreciated and enjoyed Della Parr's The Midwife's Tale.  She weaves a tender tale of love, hope and faith with characters that are well developed and endearing.  This book is the first in her series At Home in Trinity.  I will be placing this title on my keeper shelf and making a point to read the others in the series.  If you are looking for a light and easy read full of inspiration and encouragement, this is a book you do not want to miss.

Happy Reading Ya'll,
Jennifer
