Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife
I'm giving this three stars because I love the idea of this book, and I love the format of each birth having a little story...but by the end of this book I absolutely hated the author. Why this woman was a midwife is a total mystery to me. She doesn't have compassion for women in labor, doesn't seem to like women in labor (she complains repeatedly about the greeting she gets at various houses--like the time she had to stand out in the rain because no one came to the door--THERE IS A WOMAN IN LABOR INSIDE--GIVE HER AND HER HUSBAND A FEW MINUTES). She complains when people call too early, when people call too late. In a very telling story she kicks a goose out of frustration (and she tells that story in a proud, self justified way). Every birth is about HER.
I was so relieved to read that she no longer accepts patients. The woman had clearly been practicing for too long. So, in short, as a story it's perfectly fine...but I do feel badly for Vincent's patients. Compassion and understanding is not her strong suit.
