Sandra Dallas, author of The Last Midwife

It is 1880, and Gracy Brookens is the only midwife in a small Colorado mining town where she has delivered hundreds, maybe thousands, of babies in her lifetime. The women of Swandyke trust and depend on Gracy, and most couldn't imagine getting through pregnancy and labor without her by their sides. But everything changes when a baby is found dead...and the evidence points to Gracy as the murderer. She didn't commit the crime, but clearing her name isn't so easy when her innocence is not quite as simple, either.

The Last Midwife by Sandra Dallas

October 2015

Sandra Dallas is a writer who never disappoints me. Each book is fresh and satisfying. With THE LAST MIDWIFE, she delivers a story set in the 1880s in Swandyke, a rural town in Colorado. Gracy Brookens is the only midwife in town; she has coached many women in the town with their births and kept tabs on them after delivery. For first-time mothers, she is a coach as much as a midwife, sharing advice and encouragement.

Week of October 10, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of October 10th include THE LAST MIDWIFE by Sandra Dallas, which tells a story of family, community, and the secrets that can destroy and unite them; Elizabeth Strout's MY NAME IS LUCY BARTON, in which a simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter; HEART OF GLASS, Wendy Lawless' follow-up memoir to CHANEL BONFIRE, the darkly funny story of a girl without a roadmap for life who leaves her disastrous past to find herself in the gritty heart of 1980s New York City; and RAZZLE DAZZLE, Michael Riedel's account of the rise, fall and redemption of Broadway --- its stars, its biggest shows, its producers, and all the drama, intrigue and power plays that happened behind the scenes.
