Midwife: A Calling
Midwife: A Calling | Peggy Vincent
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
From the author of BABY CATCHER. When Peggy Vincent first found herself holding a naked baby in her bare hands as a student nurse in 1962, she never dreamed the path her life would take as a result of that accidental catch. Countless births followed. Hippies, lawyers, teenagers, welfare moms, marijuana growers, smugglers, spiritualists, Orthodox Jews, neurologists, Christian Scientists, Muslims, the rich and the poor...this list scratches only the surface of her diverse clientele. Told with warmth, humor, and sincerity, these tales will resonate with all those who remain as enchanted as Peggy by the unique art of giving birth.

SO good! Both a history of childbirth and midwifery and a book of birth stories. All the things I loved about Baby Catcher, and the vignettte-style chapters are just the right thing.

I love love loved Vincent's first memoir, Baby Catcher, and I picked this one up last night, needing something without a real narrative thread to follow. So far it's just as interesting and fun as Baby Catcher.
