Historical fiction set in late 1790's in Maine (then a part of Massachusetts). Follows the life of Martha Ballard, a real-life midwife. Based loosely on Martha's life. Very interesting read especially in telling the life and times of women of that era. Most were illiterate, held in low esteem especially in the eyes of the law. Would recommend if you're interested in HF.
