Midwives deserve better!

This book was joyful and equally heartbreaking. We as a country have a long way to go in making our midwives feel appreciated for the wonderful work that they do.

The things that Pippa went through were brutal. She did not deserve what happened to her, and this book is a true testament to how undervalued our midwives are.

Hopefully this book will inspire the change that is so desperately needed.
