A Midwife's Story

A gripping first-hand account of midwife Penny Armstrongâ€™s journey from student midwife in Glasgow to running her own practice among the Amish in rural Pennsylvania, A Midwifeâ€™s Story never fails to enlighten, inform and surprise.
Going far beyond mere biography, Armstrongâ€™s journey of self-discovery is ultimately very moving, and it is the honesty with which she describes the world she discovers which makes this book a classic, and essential reading not just for aspiring midwives but to anyone interested in natural birth.
