As Abraham's descendants prepare to cross into the Promised Land, Hannah, a disillusioned midwife, is tested in more ways than she can imagine. She wants love, a home, and children of her own, but she believes she will never know that blessing. Having her heart broken and being humiliated once was enough. Ze-ev is God's warrior, protecting his people. Busy doing what must be done, finding a wife is not his priority. However, when he meets Hannah, they are both tested in ways they never imagined. Will either of them let down their guard long enough to find love? Amidst attacks on the camp, spies, plague, and the unprecedented request of Zelophehad's daughters, Ze-ev and Hannah must navigate the difficult path of the heart.

Hannah knew at a young age that her life would be devoted to caring for women and their babies and this had always been enough for her until she meets a man named Ze-ev Ben Judah. As they become better acquainted, she slowly begins to yearn for more. What would it be like to be a wife, to share the love and companionship of a husband, and to even know the joy of having her own child? Is she too old to know this fulfillment?
The Midwife's Heart is set during the time of Moses, the plagues, and the search for the Promised Land. Hannah's skills in midwifery allows her to treat injured and dying men and it's during one of these times that she meets Ze-ev. He is impressed with her abilities but past experiences have prevented him from wanting marriage until ...a woman with long, wavy locks and amber eyes covered by thick, sooty lashes stirs feelings that he'd thought were long gone!
I enjoyed watching these two strong characters as their relationship progressed from respect to friendship to something deeper. Author Brenda Ray has written an enjoyable story filled with faith, forgiveness, and hope. If you enjoy romantic biblical fiction, you will want to read The Midwife's Heart.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

The Midwife's Heart
The Midwife's Heart is the second book from the Hebrew Midwives Trilogy. It is, also, my first introduction to Brenda Ray�s writing. Since I have not read any of her books or this series, I believe this can be read as a stand alone. At first, it took me a couple of chapters of getting used to the writing but quickly got used to it. I thought it is a good read. The author does a great job of brining Hannah to life. The details are so vivid, I felt as though I was transported back in time.
I give The Midwife's Heart four stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy Biblical Fiction. I look forward to reading the next installment from the Hebrew Midwives Trilogy, as well as, catching up with book one, The Midwife�s Song.
I received The Midwife's Heart from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
