As a child in an isolated village in Nova Scotia, she is drawn to Miss Babineau, an outspoken Acadian midwife with a gift for healing. Dora becomes Miss B.&#8217;s apprentice, and together they help the women of Scots Bay through infertility, difficult labours, breech births, unwanted pregnancies and even unfulfilling sex lives. Filled with details as compelling as they are surprising, <b>The Birth House</b> is an unforgettable tale of the struggles women have faced to have control of their own bodies and to keep the best parts of tradition alive in the world of modern medicine.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 2307275 2006 The Birth House total:1923|5:504|4:848|3:468|2:84|1:19| 1923 7503 3049 493 5 4 false false Wed Apr 30 19:23:54 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 21:34:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Wed Jul 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 14:37:31 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 13:13:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 06:40:27 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 12:50:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 06:35:33 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 06:50:06 -0700 2008
