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, shes hopeful that her daughter will follow in her footsteps, but when Victoria runs off, Marthas world is shattered. Worse, a new doctor has arrived in town, threatening her job, and she cant 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 its 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. Praise for The Midwifes Tale Fans of Jan Karons Mitford series should love Parrs work.
