Neva Bradley, a third-generation midwife, is determined to keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy - including the identity of the baby's father - hidden from her family and co-workers for as long as she can. But her mother, Grace, finds it impossible to let it rest. For Neva's grandmother, a retired midwife, Neva's situation reminds her of a secret of her own from 60 years ago--a secret that eerily mirrors her granddaughter's, and if revealed, will have life-changing consequences for all of them.
