Virtual Book Talk with Handley Regional Library System: The Midwife of Hope River and Author Patricia Harman

Handley Regional Library System announces the next virtual book talk with author Patricia Harman on May 16th at 2PM on Facebook Live @handleyregional. Sponsored by the Friends of the Handley Regional Library System, Harman will speak on The Midwife of Hope River, her novel about a midwife working in rural poverty during the Depression relying on her gift: the chance to escort mothers through the challenges of childbirth. Harman has spent over thirty years caring for women as a midwife, first as a lay-midwife, and later as a nurse-midwife in teaching hospitals and a community hospital birthing center.
