challenging emotional informative inspiring fast-paced

Finished this audio book in 2 days and found myself constantly intrigued! With a strong start, sprinkles of cheeky humour and whit, emotional and insightful stories - it is the perfect medical memoir.

This book was incredibly inspiring and even found myself questioning if I could be a widwife!  I honestly didn’t realise how extensive the role of a midwife is and have the upmost respect for them! 

Throughout I was in awe of Leah’s compassionate view into the world of midwifery covering the highs (Labour delivery joys, finding passion in career changes) and lows of the profession (child death and nurse burnout). 

The only drawback to the audio book, is you don’t have the glossary to hand whilst reading which may otherwise have been useful for some stories but the book is written a way that is friendly to those outside of the profession to understand. 

I Will certainly be looking to get my hands on a physical copy as I can definitely see myself reading this again and recommending to friends.
