Dear Librarians,

I'm thrilled to introduce midwife Martha Cade to you. Through Martha, readers will share both the joys and the challenges of being a midwife in early nineteenth century America when doctors were virtually supplanting midwives and threatened their very survival. The reappearance of Martha's first love only complicates her life more.

If your readers enjoy stories that celebrate the sisterhood of women, THE MIDWIFE'S TALE could be just the book for them. I hope Martha's journey and struggles resonate with your readers.

Many blessings,
Delia Parr
