This was a fast-read and very entertaining. It is actually a story of three generations of women who happen to be midwives. As with any good book about family the secrets are deep and go back decades. Floss is the oldest of the three. She arrived in this country with her baby, Grace, and her training as a midwife. Grace grew up to be a midwife also. So it is no surprise that her daughter Neva is the third. Neva is actually quite far a long in her own pregnancy. You would think she would want Grace to be part of this process but she hadn't even shared the news - until it is revealed by accident. This book goes back and forth revealing the stories from all three generations - and of course the secrets!
An added bonus of the story is the look into the world of midwifery. I think it will keep you involved from beginning to end. You won't always admire the women but the themes of love and motherhood are universal.
