The Blue Cotton Gown

Last month Patsy Harman emailed me to see if I was interested in reading her new memoir, The Blue Cotton Gown: A Midwife's Memoir. I was excited to receive the copy in the mail the following week but then it sat on the corner of my desk unread for several weeks. When I finally cracked it up, I was spellbound. This book is so readable, so real. I loved the highs and lows of Patsy's life, the harsh honest about her love, fear, pleasure, and pain, and the details of her experiences helping women not only in their births but through the other cycles of women's lives. This book was rich in detail and filled with the joys and sorrows women face and resonated deeply for me.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good read.
