The Irish Midwife

Can she finally put herself first, in order to find love?

Peggy Cassidy is a milly, working in the Belfast linen mills alongside her family to just about get by. But Peggy has another job-a secret one. She also works alongside her beloved Aunt Bridget as a handywoman-an illegal midwife, tending to the women of her neighbourhood in their time of need. When her Aunt Bridget is arrested while they are delivering a local baby, it sets off a chain of events that will change Peggy's life forever.

Leaving Belfast and her family for the first time, Peggy instead heads to Dublin, where she will train as a proper midwife. There, Peggy can't quite believe the luxuries of her new life-plenty of food, a fine uniform, new friends, and maybe even the chance to fall in love...

But Peggy must keep the truth about her family - and especially, her own past as a handywoman-secret at all times. And when the realities of her life in Belfast-the realities of who she really is-are revealed, will she lose everything she has worked towards?

And will she choose to protect her family, rather than let herself fall in love?

The first book in a brand-new, page-turning, heartwarming historical romance series based in Ireland, just before WW2 is about to hit the world. For fans of Mandy Robotham and Call the Midwife.
