Sarah's Gift — Marta Perry

A YOUNG MIDWIFE SEEKING TO LEAVE HER TROUBLES BEHIND HER FINDS MORE CONTROVERSY AND HEARTACHE AWAITING HER IN PLEASANT VALLEY...

After years in a disappointing, childless marriage, and now widowed at only twenty-six, Amish midwife Sarah Mast moves to Pleasant Valley for a fresh start. But unpleasant surprises beset Sarah when she joins her aging aunt's dwindling midwife practice. Signs of her aunt's decline suggest that she may no longer be capable of meeting the rigorous demands of her work. With Sarah's last dollar now invested in the birthing center, can she help her aunt face the truth and run the practice alone?

Aaron Miller, Sarah's neighbor, counts himself among the skeptics until he witnesses the dedication and love she has for her patients. But when an English doctor files a complaint against Sarah and she is ordered not to deliver any more babies until a court hearing, Aaron's misgivings resurface...just as his own sister faces a birthing crisis and only Sarah is available to help. In the midst of such tribulations, Sarah prays for the strength to defend her practice, care for her patients -- and win the hearts of the community she has grown to love.
