The Irish Midwife

Loved this story. Educational, riveting and a love story all in one book.

This is a new author for me. I love being introduced to new authors.  Another plus is when the book is actually good.

Peggy loved helping her Aunt deliver babies. The community depended on them.  Then one day, a terrible incident occurred. The life Peggy knew was no more. 

A few years later Peggy found herself studying to be a midwife in Dublin.  Far from home. She knew that she had secrets that couldn't be revealed.  Secrets that could ruin everything. And if she got too close to Dan Sheridan Jr. It could mess things up.

A great book. I loved learning about midwifery in Ireland.  It was really sad when I was done with this story. I wasn't ready for the book to be over.

I received this book from Boldwood to review.

The Irish Midwife

Can she finally put herself first, in order to find love?  Peggy Cassidy is a milly, working in the Belfast linen mills to just about get by. But Peggy also has another job - a secret one. She works as a handywoman - an illegal midwife, tending to the women of her community in their time of need.  When Peggy is offered the chance to leave Belfast to receive formal midwifery training in Dublin, it sets off a chain of events that will change her life forever.  But amongst her middle-class colleagues, Peggy must keep the truth about her past secret at all times. If the realities of her life in Belfast are revealed, she could lose everything she has worked for.  And when she meets a well-to-do doctor down in Dublin, she must make a decision: should she protect her family and her history? Or can she let herself fall in love? 

The first book in a heartwarming new historical romance series, for fans of Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Rosie Goodwin and Call the Midwife.
