The Blue Cotton Gown: A Midwifes Memoir - book giveawayToday's Giveaway is "The Blue Cotton Gown: A Midwife's Memoir" by Patricia Harman, retail value $25.00. (Thanks to Born to Love, a natural baby product company)


"The Blue Cotton Gown" is a debut memoir interweaving a nurse-midwife's personal and professional trials with the intimate stories of her patients. I loved reading this book, I finished it in just a few days! 290 pages, hard-cover book.

Patricia Harman, a nurse-midwife, manages a women’s health clinic with her husband, Tom, an ob-gyn, in West Virginia — a practice where patients open their hearts, where they find care and sometimes refuge. Patsy’s memoir juxtaposes the tales of these women with her own story of keeping a small medical practice solvent and coping with personal challenges. Her patients range from Appalachian mothers who haven’t had the opportunity to attend secondary school to Ph.D.’s on cell phones. They come to Patsy’s small, windowless exam room and sit covered only by blue cotton gowns, and their infinitely varied stories are in equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting. The nurse-midwife tells of their lives over the course of a year and a quarter, a time when her outwardly successful practice is in deep financial trouble, when she is coping with malpractice threats, confronting her own serious medical problems, and fearing that her thirty-year marriage may be on the verge of collapse.
