OFF THE SHELF
MOTHERS’ DAY
FIONA MCARTHUR, MICHAEL JOSEPH, $32.99
Fiona McArthur has 30 years’ experience as a rural midwife living and working in northern NSW. She was one of the co-founders of a drop-in group for teenage mothers, and her experience informs this novel about a rural midwife, herself a young mother, and the many challenges she faces at her hospital in a remote country town. The local obstetrician is retiring and the maternity unit will close if a replacement can’t be found.
Midwife Noni Frost needs a miracle to keep her job and avoid considerable disruption to the lives of the expectant mums
