This is the latest book I read for my book club. It's also on Oprah's book club list. This book is about a midwife in 1981. Unexpectedly one of her mothers dies during labor and she performes a c-section to save the life of the baby. Now she has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. The book is written in the view of the midwife's daughter and tells their family experience before the trial, during the trial and breifly after. For me the book was really slow...but it was alright.
