Synopsis: A MIDWIFE'S TALE (adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winning book) unfolds like a detective story - the true story of two women, two hundred years apart, linked by the massive but cryptic diary one of them left behind. The world of frontier midwife and diarist Martha Ballard gradually takes shape as author Laurel Ulrich pieces it together. We are plunged into the turbulent decades after the American Revolution in a small Maine town where social change is dizzying, religious conflict is intense, and survivial is a full time job.
A MIDWIFE'S TALE reveals the lives of ordinary people, making visible history that has remained invisible for centuries.
