This book describes their way of life with compassion, love and understanding. The author dedicated her life to being a midwife, enduring rigorous training in both Scotland and the US inner city before finding her calling among the Amish. Sacrificing much that she cared about she, and soon her husband, moved to the Amish country and built their lives there. The book describes her many adventures as a midwife and among the caring people that she served tirelessly. There are few books that will call me back again and again to read more throughout the day. This one did that and more -- I was sometimes even shirking what I should be doing in order to read it. I was just sorry when it ended. A fascinating read into the lives of both the Amish and of their "English" midwife."; 9.1 X 6.0 X 1.0 inches; 228 pages .
