Resumen del Editor
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law with new novel Darling Girls out soon.
In a family of midwives, some secrets are too big to keep hidden ...
Neva Bradley, a third-generation midwife, is determined to keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy - including the identity of the baby's father - hidden from her family and co-workers for as long as possible.
Her mother, Grace, cannot let this secret rest, even while her own life begins to crumble around her.
For Floss, Neva's grandmother and a retired midwife, Neva's situation thrusts her back 60 years in time to a secret that eerily mirrors her granddaughter's - a secret which, if revealed, will have life-changing consequences for them all.

At 41, Vivian Armstrong Gray's life as an investigative journalist is crumbling. Humiliated after taking a bullet in her backside during an exposé, Vivi learns that she's pregnant, jobless, and very hormonal.

Easy to love, easy to leave. With her ex-fiance's words, "I'm in love with someone else," still ringing in her ears, Clare Franklin flies off on her would-be honeymoon alone. Resigned to the fact that not everyone gets a happily ever after, she's sworn off men. Until she gets tangled up, quite literally, with one very sexy veterinarian. The only thing Dr. Deacon Montgomery is looking to share is his surgical expertise, but his instant attraction to Clare makes him wonder if he could be more than just a doctor and daddy to his twin two-year-old daughters.

Brett Bohlinger has forgotten all about the list of life goals she’d written as a naïve teenager. In fact, at 34, Brett seems to have it all—a plum job at her family’s multimillion-dollar company and a spacious loft with her irresistibly handsome boyfriend. But when her beloved mother, Elizabeth, passes away, Brett’s world is turned upside down. Rather than simply naming her daughter the new CEO of Bohlinger Cosmetics, Elizabeth’s will comes with one big stipulation: Brett must fulfill the list of childhood dreams she made so long ago.

My favourite book this year.
Beautifully written and read. Three generations of women each with a story to unfold and each character interesting, flawed and perfect.
Wonderful stories of the agony and wonder of childbirth. Life and death. Mother and daughter.
Brilliant narration.

Uterus not stomach!
This is the third book by Sally Hepworth and the other two were great. This really missed the mark for me.
The premise and writing of the book are very simple: of 3 generations of midwives, grandmother and granddaughter, two have secrets.
The granddaughter either doesn’t know much about biology, or is a moron. She’s apparently not heard of birth control, because she finds herself preggers and can’t pinpoint the daddy. Although she is 6 months along and sees her mother and grandmother often, the two older women do not recognize the pregnancy! They all repeatedly call a fetus a baby, but worst of all is the absence of the word “uterus.” Instead, we have babies in stomachs. By page 66 I nearly put the book down because of so many references to the “baby in the stomach” over and over. Stomach. Stomach. Stomach.
The stomach is an organ of digestion. It is not part of the reproductive tract. A fetus is in the uterus. The midwives use other technical terms – cervix, placenta, Braxton-Hicks contractions, vernix, vagina – so why the stomach?
The plot devolves into a protracted “who’s the daddy?” The grandmother’s story is interesting, but I wonder how she can recall, verbatim, conversations from the 1950s? I can’t recall what I said yesterday.
The idea for the book is intriguing, the cover beautiful, but the major flaw is the inconsistency in the level of expertise of the characters. Their ignorance makes the plot fall apart.
I found Alison Larkin annoying with the delivery of the story
