18—So Much More Than a Number
Eighteen… A number, but, oh! Sooo much more than just a number. In 2018 I was thrilled and honored to bear witness as eighteen brand-new souls spun from their mothers’ wombs to alter forever all life on earth! All minus one of those was a homebirth. But the one that wasn’t a homebirth wasn’t a[…]
So! What’s Going On?
This is what’s going on. After spending a number of hours attempting to transform three pages of interesting notes into something that does those notes justice, I decided to lay them aside to steep a bit longer. So, instead of sharing anything of much depth this week, I thought I’d see if I could put[…]
Are You Ever Too Late?
Amish America recently sent me a list of questions their readers submitted in response to an article about my book. Erik Wesner, the site’s editor, gave me permission to share a few here on my own site! I thought I’d start with this one and fill in a bit more of the story. “Are you[…]

My Very Favorite Five Stars!
“I am the editor for A Midwife in Amish Country and it was one of my all-time favorite projects to do. The writing is excellent, open, and perhaps even a little raw. It’s the honest story that grabs, holds, and inspires. I highly recommend this book to every person looking for a read that will stick[…]
If You Love It—
I’ve been surprised and so blessed by the reception A Midwife in Amish Country has received. What started as a merrily trickling stream in January with my enthusiastic launch team has become a river! Every day I hop online to find sweet messages on my pages, on my posts, and in my inboxes and they[…]
For a Laugh!
The last few weeks I’ve flooded your inbox with this and that heartwarming element of my book in attempt to entice you into purchasing your very own copy. Now my husband tells me it’s time for something a little lighter, so I plan now to regale you with I daresay HIS favorite story from the[…]
