‘An engaging and timely exploration of women’s lives...’ —Kirkus Reviews
‘Verne’s work is strikingly contemporary...’ —Kirkus Reviews
When Rhonda Kask leaves her city hospital for a midwife position in an upstate town she calls ‘the new Brooklyn,’ Mount Carmel seems like the perfect fresh start—until she’s accused of providing medical care to an underage girl without parental consent.
Can she rely on compassion and courage to heal a divided community—and save herself?
A Woman’s Work is a story of friendship, resilience, and the enduring power of community. At its heart is a woman coming to understand that her past, present, and future are inseparably connected to the rich and varied histories of the women who came before her.
As she confronts the challenges of her own life, she discovers that their struggles, choices, and courage have shaped not only the woman she has become, but the path she must choose for herself.
As Rhonda unravels a mystery buried in her small town’s past, she discovers that the truth has the power to bring its women together—and that sometimes the answers we seek can only be found in the stories of those who came before us.
