Revolutions are happening all over the world. On the home front, midwives Patience and Bitsy face personal challenges. Their young adult children are changing. Bitsyâs adopted son returns from Korea wounded in body and spirit. Patienceâs daughter is pregnant âout of wedlock,â and Danny, her son, has a problem with booze. Childbirth in the U.S. is changing too. The midwives who were once called for home deliveries have been overshadowed by the new hospital with its âpainless childbirthâ, until a few rebel nurses appear and Bitsy and Patience step forward to help them. In the midst of these challenges, journals written in the 1850s by Grace Potts, the elder midwife of the Hope River, begin appearing on Patienceâs porch at night. The diaries detail Graceâs escape from slavery when she was fifteen. Who is bringing them? And why? What do the midwives do now? Read the journals, of course. Struggle to understand and help their children, of course. Join the civil rights protests on Main Street, of course⦠and sing!. 541 $d 20200911. 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022452.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013153.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20201006010810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=422AF5BA079911EB91AE0FFD35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
