Listened rather than read. Hearing her tell it makes a difference I did not expect.

Ruth Kalinowski delivered babies in Milwaukee from 1979 to 2017. This memoir began as notes for her grandchildren and became something larger: an account of how a city's changes — insurance, immigration, hospital closures, opioids — arrived first in the delivery room.
Includes 24 family and archive photographs. Narrated by the author on audio.
Ruth Kalinowski
Ruth Kalinowski delivered babies in Milwaukee for thirty-eight years. Her memoir began as notes for her grandchildren and became a book when she realised how much of the city's recent history had passed through her hands.
She narrated her own audiobook, which she describes as the hardest week of the whole project.

She got it right
I worked those wards. She has described them accurately, including the parts nobody writes down.
