A story of a family that overcame the odds and made a way out of no way while farming, picking cotton and being treated unfairly but continued to have love and kindness in their community and befriended a white family that the midwife my grandmother would deliver their children as well and they would coexist on the same land amicably. A resurgence of midwifery is taking place in the twenty-first century this tradition of old has never completely vanished especially in third world countries where 75% of babies are delivered by midwives.
