This book is remarkable. I got this book after I found myself interested in becoming a midwife and I couldn't have found a more perfect book to help solidify my decision. I never wanted to put it down, though at times I was forced to. There were many nights I stayed up until 2 in the morning just because I wanted to finish reading about the births. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in childbirth. It is filled with laughter, joy, sadness, and a great deal of happiness. This is an amazing book and I wish Peggy Vincent's stories didn't end.
