"For Quaker midwife Rose Carroll, life in Amesbury, Massachusetts, provides equal measures of joy and tribulation. She delights in attending to the needs of mothers and newborns even as she mourns the recent death of her sister.

Driven by her desire for safety and justice, Rose Carroll begins asking questions related to the crimes. Consulting with her friends and neighbors, including the famous Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier, Rose draws on her strengths as a counselor and problem solver in trying to bring the perpetrators to light." -- Back cover. |
