Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Midwife

Since the day Rhoda Mummau was baptized into the Old Order Mennonite Church and became the head midwife of Hopen Haus, she's been torn between the needs of the unwed mothers under her care and her desire to conceal the secrets of her past. Contact with the outside world could provide medical advantages, but remaining secluded in the community gives her the anonymity she craves.

Graduate student Beth Winslow is on a path she never would have chosen. Heartbroken after surrendering a baby to adoption, she devotes herself to her studies until she becomes pregnant again, this time as a surrogate. But when early tests indicate possible abnormalities, Beth is unprepared for the parents' decision to end the pregnancy--and for the fierce love she feels for this unborn child. Desperate, she flees the city and seeks refuge at Hopen House.

Past and present collide when a young woman named Amelia arrives to the sweeping countryside bearing secrets of her own. As Amelia's due date draws near, Rhoda must face her past and those she thought she had left behind in order for the healing power of love and forgiveness to set them all free.

Criticism Of Books The Midwife

Title: The MidwifeAuthor: Jolina PetersheimPages: 400Year: 2014Publisher: TyndaleAmazon: http://www.amazon.com/Midwife-Jolina-...As in her first novel, The Outcast, the author is able to draw in the heart of the reader while delving into the story. Sometimes when I look at the stack of books I am blessed with reading, the choice of my next book can be really hard when faced with many wonderful books or unknown authors I want to discover. As is my practice, I wait to see which one the Lord would

The Midwife is one riveting read, a real page-turner, and you really never see what is coming. This is one where I can usually figure out the ending in my mind, not this one.As we travel down on journey of life, it is probably a very good thing that we cannot see what is around the next corner. We travel with Beth, really beginning with her consensual decision to be a surrogate, having already experienced the pain of giving up a child to adoption. How she thought that it would be easier the

Heartbreaking and heart warming are the two words that would best describe this novel. Jolina's puts together the powerful story of Beth, who becomes Rhoda after being baptized into the Mennonite community. Throughout the book my heart clenched for Rhoda to find relief and closure to her painful past.I enjoyed getting to know all the characters who made up this story. When Ameila arrives, she shakes things up a bit at the Hopen Haus- a girl who has many choices comes to the one place where many

When you read this book, be prepared for an unusual chronology. The prologue is a glimpse into the future, mysterious and puzzling. It does not prepare you for what's to come, but rather sets the tone for the book. In the opening chapters we are introduced to Beth Winslow, a graduate student assigned to Dr. Thomas Fitzpatrick. To assist in the completion of her Master's degree, she has agreed to become the gestational surrogate for the doctor and his wife, Meredith. It's 1995 and soon Beth will

Everything Jolina Petersheim writes, she writes with so much heart it's impossible not to get pulled into the story and instantly care about the characters. I loved this about her first novel, The Outcast, and it's what made this second story ring true to me. In The Midwife, Petersheim explores the complexities of motherhood, what it means to be a mother, and the power of a mother's love. The story is at times heartbreaking, but Jolina has a beautiful gift for shedding light on hope in even

The Midwife by Jolina Petersheim Normally if I look at the cover of a novel and there are Amish or Mennonite head coverings or dresses on the cover I don't even bother reading the back cover let alone the book. You see for three and a half years I lived about 15 minutes north of a large area of Mennonite and Amish in OH, my husband grew up Mennonite and my in-laws both grew up Amish. So I didn't really have any interest in reading novelizations of their lives since from first hand experience I

I received a free paperback copy of "The Midwife" by Jolina Petersheim in order for me to read and review it for Tyndaleblognetwork. I have read both of Jolina's books and enjoyed them both. It takes some getting used to her style of writing where you switch from the viewpoint of different characters in the book. 'The Midwife" follows Beth Winslow in the mid 1990's and Rhoda in 2014. Beth agrees to be a gestational surrogate for her graduate adviser and his wife. But when there are problems, the
