Midwife Stories

poem my first poem in English language

Ellie is a petite young woman with soft brown hair that falls just below her shoulders, usually pinned neatly underneath her nurse's cap while she is working. She has hazel eyes, a warm smile and a youthful face that sometimes makes patients underestimate her. She dresses exactly as a young midwife of the period would-uniform dresses, sensible shoes, stockings and her nursing cape when she is out on her rounds. She carries herself neatly and professionally, although when she is nervous she has a habit of fiddling with the strap of her midwife's bag.

Schwarzwald, 1633. Elisabeth Kern ist achtzehn Jahre alt und kennt ihren Platz: Sie hilft ihrer Mutter Johanna bei Geburten und lebt in einem Dorf, das die Hebamme braucht und zugleich fürchtet. Dann springt eines Nachts ein schwarzer Wolf durch ein Fenster, tötet einen Söldner vor Elisabeths Augen und verwandelt sich unter ihren Händen in einen Mann. Gabriel von Rabenfels. Gefährlich. Beherrscht. Und überzeugt davon, dass Elisabeth etwas ist, von dessen Existenz sie selbst nichts wusste: eine Werwölfin. Schlimmer noch: Sein Wolf erkennt sie als seine Gefährtin. Elisabeth weigert sich, ihr Leben von Blut, Instinkt oder einem Mann bestimmen zu lassen. Erst recht, als sie erfährt, dass ihre Mutter ihre wahre Natur achtzehn Jahre lang mit Kräutern unterdrückt hat. Während der Dreißigjährige Krieg den Schwarzwald mit Hunger, Deserteuren und Gewalt überzieht, verschwinden Menschen. Frisch verwandelte Wölfe greifen Reisende an. Im Dorf fällt das Wort Hexerei. Dann wird Johanna entführt. Die Spur führt zu Severin von Rabenfels, einem Mann, der seit fünfzehn Jahren tot sein sollte. Im Verborgenen hat er ein Rudel aus Verwundeten, Verzweifelten und Menschen geschaffen, die nie darum gebeten haben, gerettet zu werden. Für seine Pläne braucht Severin eine seltene Frau: eine Wolfsamme. Elisabeth muss herausfinden, was ihre Mutter verschweigt, weshalb ihre Blutlinie so wertvoll ist und ob Gabriel wirklich anders ist als jene Männer, die Begehren mit Besitz verwechseln. Denn ihr Wolf will Gabriel. Ihr Körper erkennt ihn. Aber Liebe ist keine Frage des Blutes. Und Elisabeth wird selbst entscheiden, wem sie gehört. Dark Historical Paranormal Romance mit Werwölfen, Fated Mates, Forbidden Love, Familiengeheimnissen, Rudelpolitik und einer düsteren Liebesgeschichte über Begehren, Macht und die Grenze zwischen Schutz und Kontrolle.

Watch out, world. The redheads are coming... Ariel Winters is one tough cookie, that's for sure, and she's not taking any prisoners. No, siree. Tired of being mocked and what she would call borderline-abused for being red-haired all her life, Ariel decides to take a stand. Not just for herself, but for every strong redhead who has a thirst for revenge. Ariel, and five other dangerously feisty redheads (including a tough part-time stripper, a meek midwife, an over-the-top actress, a straight-talking mother of three, and, er, an accountant) begin a mission of epic RED proportions which spans the entire length of Britain, tracking down the men (or women) who did them wrong. They're extinguishing the old flames and wiping out the exes, and having a hell of a time doing it. Six pissed-off redheads. One shared goal. Twelve exes to exterminate. You better watch out. After all, you know what they say... ... red hair spells danger.

Midwives see it all. They are here for some of the most vulnerable moments of a persons life and they see what others overlook. Rena is done with pretending not to notice. She is done with telling herself it's none of her business. And so she takes matters into her own hands. Because once upon a time she swore to make the lives of mothers and their newborns easier.

Norah has done something that precious few women in regency England can claim. She has found a passion. Unfortunately, it isn't childbearing or household chores. It's medicine. And she's far too busy with it to worry about finding a suitable gentleman to marry. Kyrie is drowning in his late father's accounts. Never one with an eye for business, he's worried he might become the reason that his illustrious' family's longstanding titles and privileges come crashing down around him in the form of bankruptcy. He needs someone who can understand the books. Pity that his family's only concern is what woman he chooses to court. Neither of them want to participate in the song and dance of the mating ritual that is Regency England. But they can buy each other time, at least. Pretend to be courting one another, for only a season, and Norah will have the time and privacy to practice medicine while Kyrie gains a co-conspirator with insight into his accounts. It was a perfect plan. But things always seem to go awry when meddling sisters, fallen branches, and wretched feelings enter the mix.

The war between Noncredenti and Deimitopulus has been going on for longer than anyone can remember. It began when the Noncredentis crucified Jesus Christ, the prophet of the Deimitopuluses. Every third child in Noncredenti is now taken to become a soldier. They are never given names, only numbers. Can a boy, #642, who has only been taught the war and to defeat the enemy, become friends with them? Can two soldiers change an entire war?

At the close of the Victorian Era, society still expected middle-class women to be "the angels of the house," even as a select few strived to become something more. In this time of change, Emeline Evans dreamed of becoming a nurse. But when her father dies unexpectedly, Emeline sacrifices her ambitions and rescues her family from destitution by marrying John Dorr, a reserved lawyer who can provide for her family. John moves Emeline to the remote Missouri town of Labellum and into an unusual Gothic house where her sorrow and uneasiness edge toward madness. Furniture twists and turns before her eyes, people stare out at her from empty rooms, and the house itself conspires against her. The doctor diagnoses hysteria, but the treatment merely reinforces the house's grip on her mind. Emeline only finds solace after pursuing an opportunity to serve the poor as an unlicensed nurse. Yet in order to bring comfort to the needy she must secretly defy her husband, whose employer viciously hunts down and prosecutes unlicensed medical practitioners. Although women are no longer burned at the stake in 1900, disobedience is a symptom of psychological defect, and hysterical women must be controlled. Based on historical trends of the era and inspired by Victorian novels The Yellow Wallpaper, The Secret Garden, and Wuthering Heights, author Stephanie Carroll has taken women's empowerment in fiction to an all new level in this inspiring debut. "A White Room" was featured as a Notable Page Turner in Shelf Unbound Magazine and named 2013's Best Cross-Genre Title by USA Book News.

Being a midwife in 1801 colonial America had equipped Lane with little more than a pair of silver scissors she had inherited from her grandmother and a set of clean linens prepared and folded just for the occasion of birth. Should she need more in the way of equipment she wouldn't know what it would have been, since 18th century midwifery held the woman's hands and spirit in highest regard. Her horse had been given to her, unbroken, as a gift for the safe delivery of twins a county over. She had lived with the family in anticipation of the delivery for three weeks, and while she had suspected twins she was wholly surprised to see a pair of hands reaching into the light after the first baby boy had been born. Payment was rare if you only counted coins, otherwise she had no fear of going hungry or living in the streets. Along with the silver scissors she had inherited her Grandma's cabin a bit outside of town, and though young enough for marriage, not many suitors considered her suitable. Something had been odd about Lane since the day of her birth, and she and everyone else in the county had known it. Being a midwife only compounded the fact.
