Heather is pale and thin, seventeen and pregnant with twins when Patricia Harman begins to look after her. During the period of another five months Patsy will dsicover Heather through the increased loss of both newborns and their daddy. She will also look after her longtime patient Nila, pregnant for the 8th time and hoping to make a new life without her abusive husband. And Patsy will attempt to find some comfort to provide Holly, whose teenage child challenges with bulimia. She will help Rebba learn to find pleasure in her body and help Kaz move into a fresh body. She will do noisy battle with the IRS in the very few moments she's to spare, and wage her own private battle with uterine cancer tumor. Patricia Harman, a nurse-midwife, handles a women's health medical clinic with her husband, Tom, an ob-gyn, in Western Virginia-a practice where patients open their hearts, where they find good care and sometimes refuge. Patsy's memoir juxtaposes the stories of the women with her own account of keeping a little medical practice solvent and coping with personal troubles. Her patients range between Appalachian moms who haven't got the chance to attend secondary university to Ph.D.'s on mobile phones. They come to Patsy's small, windowless exam room and sit down covered only by blue natural cotton dresses, and their infinitely assorted experiences are in equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting. The nurse-midwife instructs of their lives during the period of yearly and 25 %, a period when her outwardly successful practice is at deep financial trouble, when she is coping with malpractice dangers, confronting her own serious medical problems, and fearing that her thirty-year relationship may be on the verge of collapse. In what of Jacqueline Mitchard, this memoir, "utterly true and lyrical as any novel...should be a little vintage."
