    <body><![CDATA[ I read this for town book club in May.  I was very apprehensive to read this book.  I thought the subject matter wouldn't be interesting.  It was good, but not a book I would have chosen to read.  I recognized many of the locations of the book and suspect I know a few of the people within the book....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54285726">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fabulous....especially in my line of work. This is a tell-it-like-it-is story of midwifery. Beautifully told stories and personal anecdotes that bring the reader along with Carol as she rides the backroads of NH lovingly helping babies arrive safely into their parent's hearts. Love it!
