Midwives : a novel / by Chris Bohjalian.
On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibly Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby's life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what is Sibyl's patient wasn't dead-and Sibly; inadvertently killed her? As Sibly faces the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do.--[Book Jacket].
