Chronicle Conducive To Books The Amish Midwife (Women of Lancaster County #1)

A dusty carved box containing two locks of hair and a century-old letter regarding property in Switzerland, and a burning desire to learn about her biological family lead nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. There she meets Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who desperately needs help after an Amish client and her baby die.

Lexie steps in to assume Marta’s patient load even as she continues the search for her birth family, and from her patients she learns the true meaning of the Pennsylvania Dutch word demut, which means “to let be” as she changes from a woman who wants to control everything to a woman who depends on God.

A compelling story about a search for identity and the ability to trust that God securely holds our whole life—past, present, and future.

My first to read story by Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould called "The Amish Midwife" in The Women of Lancaster County books. I really liked the mystery involved in this story, Alexandra knew she had been adopted but never learned the story behind it until she was grown and her adoptive parents were both deceased and she was told of a beautiful carved box with papers and 2 locks of hair inside upon her dads deathbed. The paperwork involved property in Switzerland. "Lexie" has always had

Loved this story. At first I was put off by the title, because it seems "Amish" is becoming over-used. But this was a great book. Nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger had always knows she was adopted, but her world rocks when on his deathbed her father gives her a carved box containing fragments of her history before her adoption. With both of her adoptive parents dead, Lexie is spurred to seek her birth family. She leaves her Oregon home to travel to Amish country in Pennsylvania. What follows in The

This was a fun book with a couple of unexpected turns.

Nurse-Midwife Lexie Jaeger never learned much about her adoption until on her adopted father's deathbed, he gives her more than the lifelong minimal details that she knows.

Her personal journey to find her roots begins from her adopted family's orchard in Oregon to Pennsylvania's Amish country. She contacts a Mennonite lay-midwife, Marta Bayer who is in deep trouble.

Quick, light read with twists at the end.3/5

Well, I certainly hope the rest of Ms. Starns Clark's books are not about narcissistic women.This book would have been great without Lexie being so self-centered, self-involved and almost sociopathic.

Lexie goes to Mennonite/Amish people (a loving, caring, forgiving people), to storm-troop her way into finding out about her past. She uses everyone in her path to get her truth at any cost. As I
