Bøger af Peggy Vincent

Set around Berkeley, California, Midwife: An Adventure is filled with unique characters and local color balanced by a skilled midwife's ability to educate readers through the ancient art of storytelling. Voices of women and children from the Internet are unique additions to this volume.Narrated by a midwife with a Go Get 'Em attitude and written with humor, tolerance, and everlasting wonderment, Midwife: An Adventure is Peggy's fourth book on the subject but her third in the series Memoirs of an Urban Midwife. Along with Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife, Scribner 2002), Peggy's first book, these volumes have provided the impetus for many women to become midwives and for even more to consider the option of choosing a midwife for their care, whether they planned a home or a hospital birth.

From the author of BABY CATCHER. When Peggy Vincent first found herself holding a naked baby in her bare hands as a student nurse in 1962, she never dreamed the path her life would take as a result of that accidental catch. Countless births followed. Hippies, lawyers, teenagers, welfare moms, marijuana growers, smugglers, spiritualists, Orthodox Jews, neurologists, Christian Scientists, Muslims, the rich and the poor...this list scratches only the surface of her diverse clientele. Told with warmth, humor, and sincerity, these tales will resonate with all those who remain as enchanted as Peggy by the unique art of giving birth.
