Beth needs funds for graduate school, and her professor and his wife want a baby. Her professor and his wife, however, don't want a baby with abnormalities. Beth has had a baby son, and still grieving over giving him up for adoption, flees to Hopen Haus to have her second baby girl, where she meets midwife Rhoda Mummau. Beth has no idea her life is about to change.
Rhoda has secrets of her own, a painful past she has tried to put behind her after she becomes part of the Old Order Mennonite Church and the head midwife of Hopen Haus. She must face her past to receive a future and find hope and love.
Lives intertwine and secrets are revealed, and wounds are healed, in "The Midwife."
