Kiwi nurse-midwife, Barbara Walker - who spent 20 years working for international aid agencies - shares her dramatic, heart-rending, and inspiring stories of the situations she faced and the people she sought to help. From the Sakeo One Refugee Camp in Thailand, where she cared for those fleeing Pol Pot’s regime in Cambodia in a make-shift bamboo-framed field hospital, to her last placement in Mozambique that ended due to a death threat, Barbara’s Christian faith gave her strength and kept her focused.

Not much substance
Revisado: 12-31-24
There are very minimal stories and details about the actual work that this author did as a missionary especially as a midwife there are hardly any stories about midwifery and birth stories and newborn care she mentions that a few times but there really isn't a lot of detail. Most of the detail is her talking about paperwork and traveling and getting experience spite not really specific. It almost feels like it was written with an elementary grade level and more of an outline style than an actual story.

What is it like to live and work in a remote corner of the world and befriend a courageous midwife who breaks traditional roles? Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Mali Midwife is the inspiring story of Monique Dembele, an accidental midwife who became a legend, and Kris Holloway, the young Peace Corps volunteer who became her closest confidante. In a small village in Mali, West Africa, Monique saved lives and dispensed hope every day in a place where childbirth is a life-and-death matter and where many children are buried before they cut a tooth.

Lovely story, not much about midwifery and birth

really loved the story and couldn't put it down. as a midwife, I was hoping more for that part of the story which was pretty minimal.

Midwife Kim Osterholzer ushers listeners behind the doors of Amish homes as she recounts her adventures answering God's call to the craft of midwifery. Kim chronicles her nine-year apprenticeship grappling with the nuances and idiosyncrasies of homebirth. She recounts the beauty and painstaking effort of those early years spent catching babies by the light of crackling woodstoves, oil lamps, and lanterns. Every birth enthralled her, whether it involved halting hemorrhages, sharing breath with tiny lungs, or bouncing through wild rides in ambulances.

Not much about midwifery in the Plain communities
Revisado: 07-18-19
I love that she recounts her calling, but the story is not much about midwifery or birth and far more about her faith, religion, money struggles, personal marriage, and church. That would be fine, but the title is misleading. Midwifery is about a calling and the rest of your life, but there is so much one could illustrate about the actual midwifery and life of the Amish that is barely touched on in this book. The audio performance has a bit of a rigid and superior tone. overall, I'm having a hard time finishing this.
