A hard-hitting, character-driven investigative narrative following a group of South African mothers who uncovered a pattern of medical abuse at the hands of a celebrated midwife and the investigative journalist who never stopped telling their story.
It started with one mom who asked too many questions. Then another, and another. More and more babies turned up either injured or dead. And all the evidence pointed to one midwife. Separately, they were grieving moms, lost in the system, but together they became a collective that the system couldn’t ignore.
Through deeply personal testimonies and a first-hand investigation, the book exposes how one midwife allegedly drugged her patients without their consent, ignored the warning signs, and refused to transfer them to hospital when their babies were clearly in distress. It also exposes the system that failed every single one of these babies and allowed the midwife to thrive from province to province.
Told through the voices of the mothers, the narrative moves from grief and isolation to unity and justice. As the women begin to connect the dots, they form an unlikely alliance, one that ultimately pushes the case into the public eye and towards criminal accountability. This is a story about loss, but more importantly, it is a story about refusing to stay silent.
