The Last Midwife by Sandra Dallas

In 1880, Gracy Brookens is the only midwife for miles surrounding the Colorado mountain town where she lives.  She has delivered hundred of babies, and people trust her.  Then the baby of the prominent mine owner turns up dead, and he claims that Gracy killed the baby.  Evidence from the doctor and coroner support his claim.  How will Gracy be able to clear her name?

I enjoyed this book, which is both a murder mystery, as well as an engaging story about a strong woman, and life in an 1800s mountain mining town.
