The Midwife

A lady is discovered alone, nude, and near-death on the Northumberland moors after a tremendous storm. She has no recollection of who she is or how she arrived. She can, however, recall how to assist a lady in labor and how to correctly treat a wound, and she speaks perfect French. With the odds stacked against her as a destitute single woman, she begins to rebuild her life from the ground up, utilizing her abilities to assist other women in her community. She discovers her happy spot in the world. Until disaster hits and she is forced to flee for her life.

Dr. Borthwick leads a solitary existence in London, working as an accoucheur in the magnificent mansions of high society with his midwife, Mrs. Bates, and volunteering in the Devil's Acre slums with a young widow, Eleanor Johnson. His work reputation is impeccable, and he maintains his personal life equally so, separating himself from any new connections. However, he is harboring a horrible secret from his past that threatens to pour over everything.
