Since its publication by Lake Union in April of 2015, The Midwife's Revolt has consistently led the bestseller lists in Historical and Literary Fiction. It currently has more than 1,100 reviews on Amazon.com. Read below for a few of them! The Midwife's Revolt is the first of a trilogy. The second novel of the trilogy will be published in February of 2016, also by Lake Union. On a dark night in 1775, Lizzie Boylston is awakened by the sound of cannons. From a hill south of Boston, she watches as fires burn in Charlestown, in a battle that she soon discovers has claimed her husband's life. Alone in a new town, Lizzie grieves privately but takes comfort in her deepening friendship with Abigail Adams. Soon, word spreads of Lizzie's extraordinary midwifery and healing skills, and she begins to channel her grief into caring for those who need her. But when two traveling patriots are poisoned, Lizzie finds herself with far more complicated matters on her hands-she suspects a political plot intended to harm Abigail and her family. Determined to uncover the truth, Lizzie becomes entangled in a conspiracy that could not only destroy her livelihood-and her chance at finding love again-but also lead to the downfall of a new nation.
