"The Amish Midwife" by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould

Book Number 1(Suzanne)-You have from now until October 1st to read.

Nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger's, who was adopted encounters a burning desire to meet her biological family. Propelled on a personal journey of discovery, Lexie's search for the truth takes her from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania's Amish country.

There she finds Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who may hold the key to Lexie's past. But Marta isn't talking, especially now that she has troubles of her own following the death of an Amish patient during childbirth. As Lexie steps in to assume Marta's patient load and continues the search for her birth family, a handsome local doctor proves to be a welcome distraction.

Note from Suzanne: I found this book extremely interesting. I didn't know anything about the Amish, so this gave interesting insights to their lifestyle and beliefs. At the same time it was a very interesting story that is a mystery with clues that you are constantly trying to fit together. I loved it. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Here is how it works

O.k. so after thinking it over we have decided that this time around we will be making a few changes from last time. The mailing books around was kind of a pain in the but, and books got mixed up or stuck somewhere. So everyone will pick a book. Then I will post a list of them and everyone can either check it out from their library or buy it off Amazon or something. So Our first book will need to be read by October 1st. Then I will rotate everyone through giving two months for each book. This way you can go as fast as you want reading the books and don't have to pay for postage to keep mailing them. I will do the first book to give an example of how we will do it. When it is your turn, post a blog with the name and author of your book and a little summary of what it is about. Then at the end of the two months everyone can post comments on what they thought of the book.
