About the Book

A book that is non-fiction about a black family trials and tribulations and triumphs in the south and a black womans traditional calling of midwifery to help her community and women who otherwise would be unable to pay the fee of the white doctor in town to deliver their babies. A story of a family that overcame the odds and made a way out of no way while farming, picking cotton and being treated unfairly but continued to have love and kindness in their community and befriended a white family that the midwife my grandmother would deliver their children as well and they would coexist on the same land amicably. A resurgence of midwifery is taking place in the twenty-first century this tradition of old has never completely vanished especially in third world countries where 75% of babies are delivered by midwives.
