Midwives (Early)

No memory of her husband, or her child, Ivy Walcott is a midwife. She understands the mysteries of birth, the wonder of babies, yet she doesn't know if she's ever had a baby. Because Ivy only remembers the last ten years of her life. Then, unexpectedly, she learns that her real name is Gina Till. As Gina, she went missing from a West Virginia town and showed up in Colorado with no idea how she got there. She goes back to Cullin Till, the husband she can't remember, and their daughter, Gabriela. She begins to discover that Gina Till did things Ivy Walcott doesn't like. And she falls in love with Cullen, the man she's still married to, the man whose heart she broke all those years ago.

The Midwives. This baby is hers! One night in Texas, midwife Tara Marcus finds a newborn baby abandoned in her car. A baby she desperately wants to keep. She takes the baby to her hometown in Colorado, hoping to adopt her. But adoption requires money. And it requires a better situation than Tara can offer. A husband, a home. She needs a strategy, and the best one she can think of is marriage. Dr. Isaac McCrea, a newcomer to town, happens to be a widower with three kids. Surely, he needs a wife! So what if he's a doctor not exactly Tara's favorite species? So what if she falls in love with him despite her outrageous proposal? None of that matters. Only her baby matters. Her baby and his children.

Home to Alaska. To her ex-husband. Her family. And the babies waiting to be born. Midwife Francesca Walcott has plenty of good reasons to stay away from Alaska. Her ex-husband, Charlie Marcus, for one. Her family, for another. Thirty years ago she chose to marry Charlie over her family's objections. They haven't forgiven her, or spoken to her since. Now she's come home to Alaska, because Mia, a midwife, friend and former apprentice, has been found dead. She's left Francesca her estate: a house in Talkeetna, a mine and forty-three sled dogs. Suddenly there are more reasons to stay in Alaska than to leave. The mystery surrounding Mia's death. The mothers and babies who need her skills as a midwife. The hope of reconciling with her family. And above all, Charlie. The man who's somehow, connected to everything in her life. The man who she used to love, and still does.
