“Labor of Love…makes me want to stand up and shout, 'Yes! Right on, sister!'” — Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

“A practicing certified nurse-midwife … [Muhlhahn] has the battle scars to prove it … as well as enough emotional dings to give her plain-speaking single mom's memoir an edge.” — Booklist

As one of today's most beloved and sought-after midwives, Muhlhahn delivers an engaging story of the choices and sacrifices she has made in order to live a life of passion and devotion.
