7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A gem to be read once and then passed to others. By Lenoire I was recently given the opportunity to read "The Midwife's Tale" by Delia Parr and provide my honest opinion in exchange for an copy of the book.The story begins with widow and midwife Martha Cade delivering a baby faraway from home. Upon her departure and excitement to join the rest of her family back in Trinity, she receives news from her brother about her daughter running away to join the circus (does anyone else think of Water for Elephants?). At the time period the book represents, there is quite a "strict" family structure and code in place for the community. Daughters should be home until they are ready to be married and usually follow the career path steps of their mothers. The news, undoubtedly, shakes Martha to the core. She not only has to deal with a daughter whose whereabouts are not known but with being ostracize by the community. To make matters worse, Martha depends on being a midwife to support herself. After, the old doctor from their community dies a new younger doctor comes and believes there is only room for one of them.While, the book provide us insight into Martha's life as not only a mother, widower, a midwife, a community member but as a human who is simply trying to fit in and find a place for herself. The author does a good job creating believable but flawed characters. The book doesn't necessarily bills itself as a historical novel, but I wish it gave a bit more historic information on how lives of a midwife was like during that time period. The book does have little tidbits on how certain herbs cure ailments. The book was a bit a slow in the beginning but not painfully slow, although towards the end, there were so many twists and turns --- one should hold on! But, with that many twists and thrills at the end of the book, it made it feel rushed and that it should have been spread out more. Thankfully though, the book leaves no stone unturned and every question is answered.

In 1830, Midwife Martha Cade is away from her home in Trinity, Pennsylvania, helping a mother deliver her baby when she receives a note from her brother saying that her daughter has run off with a theater troupe during Martha's time away from home. Devastated that her daughter has run away from home, Martha leaves right after the birth to go search for her daughter.Nearly three months later, a discouraged Martha returns to her home in Trinity without her daughter. Upon her arrival, she discovers some new changes in Trinity, the biggest change being that a new doctor has come to town and is threatening Martha's livelihood as a midwife. As Martha is faced with several trials, will she have faith that God will lead her through this difficult time?The Midwife's Tale is a story that revolves around widow Martha Cade and her life in the small town of Trinity. Because Martha is a midwife, there are times in the story where we get to see her do her job as a midwife, delivering babies, and get an idea of what it would have been like to have been a midwife during the time. During Martha's adventures around town we are also introduced to several interesting characters, such as Samuel, the crusty old seaman who lives as a recluse, but who has let Martha befriend him; Fern and Ivy Lynn, the spinster sisters who run the confectionery in town; and a strong-willed orphan boy with crude manners who just needs someone to show him some love and kindness.I liked seeing Martha's strong faith in God throughout the story. She always trusts in Him, even when things are difficult for her. She also thinks of both her joys and troubles in life as gifts from God as there are lessons for her to learn in both.Honestly, this book was a bit hard for me to get into at first. It wasn't until I was about a third of the way into it that I became more interested in the characters and the storyline and it kept my attention. I think part of the reason I had trouble getting into it at first was because of the slower pace of the story; however, although the pace didn't pick up much throughout the story, the more I read the more I wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters, and by the end of the book I was glad I had finished it as I did like it. It was a sweet story with interesting characters, a bit of mystery, some plot twists, and with themes of faith, trust, love, and forgiveness. The story ended with a bit of a cliffhanger that makes me want to read the next book in the series to see what happens next in Martha's and the other characters' lives. Overall, even though it didn't keep my attention very well at first, it ended up being an enjoyable and light read and I plan on reading the next book in the series when it is released.*I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers through Book Fun in exchange for my honest review.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I'd Like to Return to Trinity By Full of Hope I'll confess that The Midwife's Tale by Delia Parr is yet another book for which I didn't remember whatever the book blurb had said before I started reading the book. I barely skimmed the blurb, but the cover of the novel is what got me, not so much on account of its loveliness but because the heroine depicted has gray in her hair. It's nice to read about a more mature protagonist when I can, and Martha certainly has her hands full in this story of small-town life, some suspense, and hints of romance.As far as midwifery goes, it was interesting to see it as a system and culture, not just a lone woman who appears to deliver a baby and disappears from the story again. Though the novel is labeled as historical romance, it's rather light on the romance piece, but it's more a story of Martha's journey of grief, joy, self-discovery, and faith. There are some pretty endearing moments of character interaction, humorous or downright cute, and one duo of ladies in town couldn't help but to remind me of the Baldwin sisters from The Waltons.While much of this novel is easy reading, not unpleasant, it does move slowly, and halfway through the book, the story didn't seem to have hit a clear stride yet, like it was still in the introductions stage. Martha's feelings about her daughter who has run off, Victoria, are well-expressed, but since I as a reader didn't get to see or meet Victoria for myself, I couldn't connect with Martha's sentiments about who her absent daughter is.The novel's strength is in its final fourth or so, and though it was a long time in coming, reading wise, it turned out to be enough to interest me in continuing on with the At Home in Trinity series._________________Bethany House provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.
