Publisher's Summary:

Come home to friendship, family, and faith in the town of Trinity.

In a time when the traditional ways of medicine are constantly being questioned by new doctors fresh from medical school, midwife Martha Cade tries to balance her life's calling with the demands of her family. Recently reunited with her estranged 17-year-old daughter, Martha finds herself torn between guiding her child and allowing her to be an adult. At the same time, she must decide whether she'll risk reopening the heart she'd long closed off to love.

Though a small town, Trinity, Pennsylvania, is fraught with secrets, and as a midwife, Martha moves among its people. She knows which homes are filled with light and love, which families have slipped into grief, which wives are unhappy, and which husbands dare to cross lines....

As Martha struggles with the conflicts of being a mother, a midwife, and a woman, she learns the greatest lessons of all: that hope can shine even in the darkest hours, and that faith has a way of making the impossible possible.

loved this book

The series begins with the first novel titled, The Midwifeâs Tale where readers are taken back to earlier days when doctors were few and reliance upon midwives was greater. Here continues the story of Widow Martha Cade, practicing her care of women in the town of Trinity. Martha is reunited with her daughter Virginia and has some decisions before her that will impact her future and that of her practice.

Martha is faced with caring for a woman who lost a baby in childbirth only to be in need of more serious care when days later she is brought to the widowâs place after being beaten by her husband. The women of the town begin to band together as changes take place in laws and people coming or going from Trinity. Plus Thomas the mayor of Trinity is showing quite an interest in Widow Cade and offering her a future that may include a home.

I am really enjoying each novel Delia Parr writes set in the town of Trinity and about being a midwife. I find each story engaging and touching with the themes woven throughout the book. Sometimes I even forget these are fictional books or tales as they seem very lifelike! I look forward to reading book three titled The Midwifeâs Dilemma and may peek at some of the other books written by Delia!

It is January 1831 in the small town of Trinity. After the fire that destroyed Martha's brother's tavern and her home, Martha (42 and a widow) is now living with her friends, Fern and Ivy, at the confectionery and boarding her horse, Grace, at Dr. McMillan's. Martha, a midwife, is called to the home of Russell and Nancy Clifford who are fairly new to the area. Nancy has had a fall and is concerned about her unborn baby. Sadly the baby is born premature and stillborn but is there more going on here?

In the first book we read of the heartache Martha suffered due to her 17 year old daughter, Victoria, disappearing off with a theater troupe. After 7 months Victoria is home but is she planning on staying home? What are her plans? How does Martha handle this?

"Sometimes we must remember to love deeply enough to let those we care about most in this world find their own way.
