Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Amish Midwives
Amy Clipston, Shelley Shepard Gray & Kelly Long · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Lauren Berst
66/100
👎 Skip It
Three midwives, three different kinds of grief turning into hope — it's a nicely distinctive premise for this genre, even if the novella length keeps each story brief. The three authorial voices add texture, though quality shifts a bit story to story. Lauren Berst narrates, but I can't speak to how she handles it, so treat the audio as an unknown.
