It all began with a midwife's secret... a secret that once uncovered, could free two families from the bitter tragedy that binds them


1969 On New Year's Eve, while the Hiltons of Yew Tree Manor prepare to host the party of the season, their little girl disappears. Suspicion falls on Bobby James, a young farmhand and the last person to see Alice before she vanished. Bobby protests his innocence, but he is sent away. Alice is never found.


Present day Architect Willow James is working on a development at Yew Tree when she discovers the land holds a secret. As she begins to dig deep into the past, she uncovers a web of injustice. And when another child goes missing, Willow knows the only way to stop history repeating itself is to right a terrible wrong...


Does the key to the present lie buried even deeper in the past, in the forgotten history of an innocent midwife accused by a family of shocking betrayal?

The Midwife’s Secret

I liked the book and learned something about midwifery.

I thought it was a good read.

Happy Reading!

Compelling story

But genealogy was confusing. Reading it as an ebook on my phone, the chart in front was too small to be readable and helpful. Well written, interesting characters.

Awesome book

Going back in time to connect the past to the present can be difficult but this book with its unique story was easy to follow and had me reading nonstop!
