One of the best books I've read. Some themes stand the test of time. And both the challenges and bravery of women are of those.

I was captivated! This is not to be missed on your list for 2025. There are some descriptions of physical violence against women. Those aside it is a wonderfully written story from the viewpoint of an early American mid-wife.
