Laurie Alice Eakes
brings to life a gripping story of trust, deception and bittersweet loss, as a
young woman learns the true meaning of choices of the heart. In the third book of The Midwives series, you will be transported back to 1840’s
Appalachia with a tender romance that includes closely guarded secrets and a
bitter feud.
Esther Cherrett comes
from a proud line of midwives and was trained by her mother to take over the
family calling. But when a scandal threatens all she holds dear, Esther takes a
position as a teacher in the western mountains of Virginia instead. There she
finds herself in the midst of a deadly family feud and courted by two men on
opposite sides of the conflict. When it seems as though her past has followed
her all the way into the mountains, all she wants is to run away again.

"The gifted Laurie
Alice Eakes has done it again with a page-turner romance straight out of the

late into the night."--Linda Goodnight, Carol and Rita Award-winning

It’s always wonderful when you start reading a novel with the hope
of being entertained and distracted from your busy life, only to be blown away
by the discovery of a new favorite author. Laurie Alice Eakes’s novel had that
exact affect on me, and I can’t verbalize how pleasing it is to uncover a gem
of a story like this one. – The
