My Review

Midwife Jess, deeply passionate about her vocation, cherishes the privilege of dedicating her days to it. However, her career choices have come at a personal cost, as she realizes she may have forfeited her own dreams of motherhood. Despite this, the optimistic Jess chooses to focus on her existing family, including her stepson Riley. When presented with the opportunity to care for a newborn and a struggling mother, Jess faces an unprecedented test, grappling with the possibility of sacrificing her dreams and the fear of enduring another heartbreak. Now, Jess stands at a crossroads, contemplating whether to embrace this chance, listening to her heart, or potentially regretting a decision to turn away from a mother and baby in need.

Centered on a midwifery unit in the village of Port Agnes, The Cornish Midwife series concludes beautifully with Happily Ever After for the Cornish Midwife. The enchanting setting captures the essence of home, and the characters, with their endearing qualities, extend not only mutual support but also contribute to the well-being of their community and its surroundings.
