A great historical fiction loosely based on a midwife from the late 1700s, Martha Ballard. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, especially Martha. She doesn't take crap from anyone and does all she can to ensure that justice is served. There is a mystery element throughout the story which was engaging as well.
