(3) 1-3 To work off a family debt, eleven-year old Viney goes to spend the summer with Missy Violet, the local midwife, to learn about "catchin' babies." During this eventful summer, Viney learns midwifery basics, acquires knowledge about roots, and has adventures with many memorable characters. This is a heartfelt glimpse into African-American life during the early twentieth century.
