"The Doctor and the Midwife" by Sarah Daw Alva
Romance, clean, contemporary; Christian CJCLDS faith, mild faith elements
Lucy and Ammon's story was so well done. I loved the back and forth between them, their misunderstandings, hurts, and worries. The online internet/hiking group connection made for a fun way for them to connect in a positive way. Both of their work experiences, successes, devastating moments, lack of sleep, connections, and 'moments' both off and on-line were well done. Nuances are always the mark of a better read for me, and this had them. The well-described emotions, hurts, worries, and attraction, along with their connection, kindnesses to each other (when those happened, let me qualify that one), healing their pasts, finding their present, and making their futures, cleverly woven and bound together.
I loved this was told from alternating points of view, getting both sides of the medical care for women in childbirth, and seeing the patients, doctors, and midwives work together at this moment of birth and women's lives in the mix. Adding Ammon and Lucy's families to the mix, their climbing, some wonderful moments that are just 'life', and sweetly pulling their lives together and the 'climbed' through the obstacles in their relationship and fought for each other in the end.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.
