Beschreibung

The women of Hope River trust midwife Patience Hester, whose skill in delivering babies is known for miles around. Even with the Great Depression behind them, troubles are not, for Europe is at war . . . and it can only be a matter of time before the U.S. enters the fray.

And while some are eager to join the fight, Patience’s husband, Daniel, is not. Daniel is a patriot—but he saw too much bloodshed during the first world war and has vowed never to take up arms again. His stance leads to swift punishment: the government imprisons Daniel for his beliefs.

Now, Patience must support their family, fight for her husband’s release, and with need greater than ever, she must also keep her practice running during this tumultuous time. With generous friends like Bitsy, stalwart neighbors, and her own indomitable strength, Patience must see them all through the war.
