Autorenporträt

Madeleine Weiller has spent 30 years working in the field of Women's Health as a nurse and midwife. She entered her healthcare career after having previously attained a degree in English, and retained her lifelong love of storytelling and writing. She found that her personal mission was working with poor and underserved patients who had very few options for their childbearing experience. This population served up many difficult moments for their caregivers, as they experienced complicated health and pregnancy problems that tested the team's knowledge and skills at every turn. The author managed to preserve her vision of the heart of such work, a woman struggling to cope in one of life's most challenging moments.
