4.0

Beautiful collection of recollections from a midwife in a busy NYC hospital practice. Her work with AIDS mamas in the 80s and 90s was a particularly fascinating chapter. Each chapter is further divided into vignettes. Well written, like that she includes medical details and some things for more advanced readers. Quick read. The organization leaves something to be desired on kindle, but it's still a good read.
