The May title is The Birth House by Ami McKay. Read a summary of the plot on the Library's website. There is a short biography of the author at www.thebirthhouse.com. Find the discussion questions on the Reading Guide on the Harper Collins' author website.

The Birth House is the story of a Nova Scotia midwife in the early 20th century. It is a fascinating historical novel about the conflict between midwives and the introduction of “clinical” birthing methods. Booklist says The Birth House is a “sensitively written novel of women’s birthing rituals, strengths, and friendships (that) will appeal to readers who enjoy gentle humor and plenty of homespun wisdom.”
