This gruff Bear Shifter just wanted a weekend alone in this cabin. Too bad the Fates had other ideas... Sadie Stewart had been hiking the Oregon Trail, exploring and taking notes for her thesis. Her parents had instilled in her a work ethic that didn't allow for giving up, even against incredible odds. She'd faced pushback all her life, from the playground to the halls of academia. She knew she couldn't find the truth she sought by sitting in libraries and university basements. The truth was out here. But the truth wasn't going to make it easy. While on her hike, Sadie lost track of time. She found herself in the pitch black wilderness, stumbling along what she hoped was still the trail. Low on food and water, she panics when she realizes her cell phone is dying. She sees lights twinkling in a window and approaches a primitive mountain cabin that appears to be vacant. Far from vacant, inside she would find the only truth that mattered... Every Monday in 2019 I'll be releasing a brand new novella for you to gobble up!

A new American journey.

The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
