The Doula by Bridget Boland
In the powerful tradition of Chris Bohjalian's "Midwives" and Jodi Picoult's "Handle with Care" comes a riveting debut novel about a doula, trained to support women and their families during childbirth, on trial for her best friend's death.
"Bridget Boland has written a powerhouse of a debut novelThe Doula takes an unflinching look at some of the worst calamities that can befall a life, and shows us the grace and redemption that can grow out of our darkest moments. Never sentimental, but with real compassion that rings true on every page, Boland takes us on a hard-fought journey toward genuine wisdom."
