Bring The Curious Midwife - Paperback

by D. a. Gregory (Author)

Curious once had a different sort of meaning in the South; it meant peculiar-not in a bad way necessarily. "That girl's just curious," was how folks who knew her often described Otha May St. Clair, even before she was old enough to go to school. In the small rural Alabama community where her family lived, most everyone knew full well what made Otha May curious and most everyone also thought it to be none of their business.It's the early 1940s; the country's at war and Otha May has come to accept that finding anyone else like her, especially in the South, might take forever, but a new family moving into the community and a real job working for the only midwife in the county turn her life around. A respectable job and someone to love mean the world to her and she finds both, but the wedding she wants can't be had for love or money. That would cost her much more.
