The Midwife Audiobook (Free)

The Past — Graduate student Beth Winslow was sure she was ready to navigate the challenges to become a surrogate. However when early checks indicate feasible abnormalities with the infant, Beth can be unprepared for the parents’ decision to end the being pregnant — and for the brutal love she feels because of this unborn child. Desperate, she flees the town and looks for refuge at Hopen Haus, a home for unwed moms deep inside a Tennessee Mennonite community.

TODAY’S — As head midwife of Hopen Haus, Rhoda Mummau delivers babies with a confident though stoic ease. Except in rare moments, not those who function alongside her would reckon that each newborn cry, each starry-eyed glimpse from mother to child, almost renders a fault through Rhoda’s heart, reminding her of the past she’s carefully concealed.

History and present collide when a youthful woman named Amelia arrives in the sweeping countryside bearing secrets of her very own. As Amelia’s deadline pulls near, Rhoda must face her regrets and the ones she left out in order for the curing power of like and forgiveness to set them all free of charge.
