Ann Ormsby

Anabel Leigh has spent years pouring herself into her career, polishing her image, and protecting her fragile heart after too many losses. But everything changes when a stranger presses a baby into her arms in a crowded New York park and vanishes. The child’s golden hair and trusting eyes stir a deeply personal longing Anabel thought she’d buried forever.

What begins as a surreal moment unravels into a storm of headlines and police questions. The woman who knows the truth is hiding on a farm in Georgia. Savannah Maas lives by a different code—one forged from secrets, desperation, and choices that blur the line between compassion and crime.

As the world closes in, each woman struggles to keep her dreams from crumbling. For one, receiving the baby is a miracle. For the other, the handoff is a devastating mistake.

Heart-stirring and suspenseful, Secrets of the Midwife is a story of hope, resilience, and the unexpected ways love finds us.

“Ormsby packs her fast-paced novel with themes of motherhood, miscarriage, and found family combined with how power and greed corrupt even those who start out with the best intentions. Get yourself a glass of wine and hold onto your seat. A great book club pick.”
