Book Overview

A stirring debut novel-of love, struggle, and savagery on America's colonial frontier- (Bernard Cornwell).

They call her Dark Maggie for her thick black hair, but the name also has a more sinister connotation. As the lone survivor of an attack on her village, she was thought to be cursed, and unfit for marriage. Maggie is also gifted with quick wits and skilled in medicine, trained as a midwife. Venturing to the colonies as an indentured servant, she hopes to escape the superstitions of the old country, and find a home of her own. But what she discovers is a New World fraught with new dangers.

Midwife of the Blue Ridge is a Great Read!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Was reminiscent of one of the Outlander novels, the one that takes place in North Carolina. The book was entertaining and engrossing, especially for those who enjoy historical fiction.

This book tells the story of Maggie Duncan, a Scottish woman, who leaves Scotland for America as an indentured servant...

I could not put the book down

The story was fantastic. I truly enjoyed this historical novel. It could quite possibly become a series...I would love to know what happens to Tom and Maggie, Seth and Naomi's children. I look forward to more books by this author.
