A Midwife's Song by Patricia Harman PDF Summary

Book Description: It's 1956, the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. and the middle of the Cold War. Violent revolutions are happening all over the world. On the home front, in the mountains of Appalachia, midwives Patience and Bitsy face personal revolutions. Their adult children are growing up and away. Bitsy's adopted son returns from the army in Korea wounded in body and spirit. Patience's daughter is pregnant "out of wedlock," and Danny, her son, has a problem with booze. Childbirth in the U.S. is changing too. The midwives, who were once called frequently for home deliveries, have been overshadowed by the new hospital with its "painless childbirth", until a few rebel nurses appear and Bitsy and Patience step forward to help them. In the midst of these challenges, journals written in the 1850s by African American, Grace Potts, the elder midwife of the Hope River, begin appearing on Patience's porch at night. The diaries detail Grace's escape from slavery with the help of the Underground Railroad when she was fifteen. Who is bringing them? And why? What do the midwives do now? Read the journals, of course. Struggle to understand and help their children, of course. Join the civil rights protests on Main Street, yes... And sing!
