From the USA Today best-selling author of the Hope River series comes a new contemporary midwife novel.
Say good-bye to your old life and hello to the life you've been waiting for.
Midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to comforting her pregnant patients, calming fathers-to-be as they anxiously await the births of their children and ensuring the babies she delivers come safely into the world.
But when Clara's life takes a nosedive, she realizes she hasn't been tending to her own needs and does something drastic. She runs away and starts over again in a place where no one knows her or the mess she's left behind in West Virginia. Heading to Sea Gull Island - a tiny, remote Canadian island - Clara is ready for anything. Well, almost. She left her passport back home, and the only way she can enter Canada is by hitching a ride on a snowmobile and illegally crossing the border.
Deciding to reinvent herself, Clara takes a new identity: Sara Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there's no avoiding the outside world. The residents are friendly and draw Sara into their lives and confidences. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local police officer.
But what will happen if she lets down her guard and reveals the real reason why she left her old life? One lesson soon becomes clear: no matter how far you run, you can never really hide from your past.

Slow start, but sweet story

Also, I kept waiting for it to tie into the first two books. It’s a series and literally has no tie into the first two books other than apparently she’s a midwife. Sadly, there is hardly any midwifery in this story.
I’m very hesitant to want to listen to the next books in the series because i don’t want another random story that doesn’t tie in and has no compelling storyline
Confused

It was an interesting story and it was about a midwife. But it was quite a different story for sure. However, it was an interesting story with another intriguing love story that I enjoyed. There was just a little more illegal behavior in this one. Of course, there were justifications for it. There always seem to be. But just the same...
In the end, I walked away from this book very happy.
Again, there were similar down sides with the performance as with the other two. It was distracting at times.
Great story, Interesting character.

I will say I was rooting for Sarah in the beginning of the story, but about half way through, she takes a hard left turn into a world I cannot understand. It's very pagan and if you're into that, well, you might like it. As a Christian...I was quite offended at the way she presented what Christmas is all about. It's about Jesus Christ, not about singing "This little light of mine"
Very much a humanist.
Tavia Gilbert, as always, is wonderfully stunning. She is the only reason I finished the book, she can make a nutty book worth listening to. I'll have to pass on Harman's other books. That's a shame because I love stories about midwives.
The Narrator saves the day!
