What if those you cherish harboured a secret that could break you? In Sally Hepworths The Secrets of Midwives Neva Bradley, a young midwife, has just learned that she is expecting. Shes been present at the magical stages of many womens lives but she is determined to keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy hidden. And the weight of Nevas secret is beginning to bear down on everyone around her . . . Nevas mother Grace finds it impossible to let the subject rest. But the more Grace presses Neva about the identity of the babys father, the more withdrawn she becomes. For Nevas grandmother, Floss, a retired midwife, Nevas predicament eerily mirrors events from her own past. She now must decide whether she is ready to confront a memory shes managed to suppress for over fifty years. As Nevas bump grows, it becomes harder to conceal the truth. Will each of the women reveal what has been buried for so long, or are some secrets best kept hidden?
