MEMOIR
A flower child who found her calling after coaching a friend through a home birth, nurse-midwife Harman works with her ob-gyn husband at a West Virginia clinic. In her sweetly perceptive memoir, she reveals how her exam room becomes a confessional. Coaxing women in thin gowns to share secrets—about abusive boyfriends, OxyContin habits, unplanned pregnancies—she reminds them that they're not alone.
