THE MIDWIFE'S CONFESSION by Diane Chamberlain

"A wonderful story to be savored with a favorite beverage"

By: Diane Chamberlain

Genres: Women's Fiction

Posted: April 8, 2011

In her latest novel, THE MIDWIFE'S CONFESSION, Diane Chamberlain explores the bonds of friendship. Tara, Noelle, and Emerson are three very different people who meet when Tara and Emerson share a dorm room and Emerson is the resident assistant.

Through college years and beyond, the friendship that was forged partially through sheer will and determination and partially through the joy of being with one another has taken many twists and turns but has remained intact. The women are there for one another.

Until one day Noelle takes her life, and leaves behind more questions than answers. Tara and Emerson are left to sort not only Noelle's physical belongings but the cryptic messages they find as they sort those belongings.

I believe that Noelle's story can only truly be told by a talented writer who is willing to put his or her own emotions into every thought, and Ms. Chamberlain is such a writer. As I read I felt that not only was Noelle's story told but Tara and Emerson, by discovering unknown secrets held by their friend, managed to strengthen not only their friendship but their other personal relationships as well.

THE MIDWIFE'S CONFESSION is a wonderful piece of fiction, and one to be savored with a favorite beverage. I have to be honest and say that while I often think of Ms. Chamberlain as a romance writer, she truly is not, and is instead a very talented fiction writer and one whose new works I look forward to with eager anticipation.

Book Summary

'I don't know how to tell you what I did.' The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle - her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her family - described a woman who embraced life.

But they didn't know everything.

Because the unaddressed letter reveals a terrible secret...and a legacy of guilt that changes everything they thought they knew about the woman who delivered their children. A legacy that will irrevocably change their own lives - and the life of a desperate stranger - forever. Diane Chamberlain gets to the heart of the story.
