For nearly two
hundred years, women in Ashley Tolliver’s family have practiced the art
of midwifery in their mountain community. Now she wants to take her
skills a step further, but attending medical school means abandoning
those women to whom she has dedicated her life, the mountains she loves,
and the awakening of her heart.
Ashley Tolliver has
tended to the women of her small Appalachian community for years. As
their midwife, she thinks she has seen it all. Until a young woman gives
birth at Ashley’s home and is abducted just as Ashley tries to take the
dangerously bleeding mother to the nearest hospital. Now Ashley is on a
mission to find the woman and her newborn baby . . . before it’s too
late.
Hunter McDermott is on a quest—to track down his birth
mother. After receiving more media attention than he could ever want for
being in the right place at the right time, he receives a mysterious
phone call from a woman claiming to be his mother. Hunter seeks out the
aid of the local midwife in the mountain town where the phone call
originated—surely she can shed some light on his own family background.
Ashley
isn’t prepared for the way Hunter’s entrance into her world affects her
heart and her future. He reignites dreams of having her own family that
she has long put aside in favor of earning her medical degree and being
able to do even more for her community. But is it commitment to her
calling or fear of the unknown that keeps her feet firmly planted in the
Appalachian soil? Or is it something more—fear of her growing feelings
for Hunter—that makes her hesitant to explore the world beyond the
mountains?
