NORTH COAST, Calif. – Janie Rezner, host of ‘Women’s Voices’ on KZYX, will feature certified nurse-midwife and author Patricia Harman on the Monday, Aug. 20, show.

The show will begin at 7 p.m.

Harman will discuss her newest book, “The Midwife of Hope River.”

Harman, who has written two acclaimed memoirs – “The Blue Cotton Gown” and “Arms Wide Open” – has written a brilliant novel that is partially inspired by her own experiences as a lay midwife in the 1960s and 1970s living in rural communes in Virginia.  

With her stunning fiction debut, Harman creates an uplifting novel that celebrates the  miracle of life, and the world of women giving birth in their own beds, without hospitals or doctors.

It sweeps readers away to another time and place, one of the most tumultuous times in American history, with the challenges that the Depression, prohibition and the West Virginia Coal Wars brought to an already struggling Appalachia, yet the honesty and humanity of the characters make it feel utterly close and real.
 
The show can be heard live at www.kzyx.org . It will be archived at www.radio4all.net under Janie Rezner. There will be time for call-ins.
