Diary of a Midwife

Rating:
Summary: She did it first!
Review: Three years ago, while I was researching available midwifery books in preparation for writing my own recently-published midwife memoir, BABY CATCHER: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife, I found Juliana's book, snatched it up, and devoured it. Sitting on the subway, I muttered aloud, 'Rats, someone else wrote the book I should have written!' But I wrote my own story, anyway, because, after all, it's different from her story. I enjoyed and appreciated every line of Juliana's book, paralleling as it does the struggles of most midwives who have tried to maintain a private practice. I recommend her book without qualification, not just as a midwife tale but also as a memoir of a courageous and empassioned woman leader.
