Reading the West Longlist for Nonfiction Childbirth defines families, communities, and nations. In Birthing the West, Jennifer J. Hill fills the silences around historical reproduction with copious new evidence and an enticing narrative, describing a process of settlement in the American West that depended on the nurturing connections of reproductive caregivers and the authority of mothers over birth. Economic and cultural development depended on childbirth. Hill's expanded vision suggests that the mantra of cattle drives and military campaigns leaves out essential events and falls far short of an accurate representation of American expansion. The picture that emerges in Birthing the West presents a more complete understanding of the American West: no less moving or engaging than the typical stories of extraction and exploration but concurrently intriguing and complex. Birthing the West unearths the woman-centric practice of childbirth across Montana, the Dakotas, and Wyoming, a region known as a death zone for pregnant women and their infants. As public health entities struggled to establish authority over its isolated inhabitants, they collaborated with physicians, eroding the power and control of mothers and midwives. The transition from home to hospital and from midwife to doctor created a dramatic shift in the intimately personal act of birth.

There's a new girl in the small town of River Bend, Montana - a pretty little thing from the city who doesn't know her heifers from her steers. Or her good guys from her f*cked up ex-Marines. Her name is Tia Kinsley and she's nothing like the girls in River Bend. Proud, smart and gorgeous, she's a fish out of water with a habit of getting into sitcom-style scrapes. Not that I have any interest in rescuing her from those scrapes... The last thing I came out here to the middle of nowhere to do is fall in love. Two brutal tours in Iraq left me broken and haunted, unfit for human companionship. Besides, I've got everything I need - my livestock, my property and my faithful dog, Beau. I've got rules, too. No relationships that last longer than a single night, for one. No local girls. No entanglements. Until one hot summer night when I catch a fleeting glimpse of something familiar in Tia's dark eyes. I know that look. I see it every day, staring back at me in the mirror. Hurt. Loss. So it turns out maybe I'm not the only one in pain. Maybe the world doesn't revolve around me. And maybe - just maybe - being with her is like feeling the rain on my face after years in the desert. I'm not fit for any of this and I know it - not fit for love or kindness or the sweet tenderness with which she treats me. For Tia's own good - and even as her breathless little sighs still ring in my ears - I can't let her in. But I can't seem to stay away, either, and the closer we dance to the cliff's edge, the tighter I hold on... Not your usual Bad Boy, this 70k standalone romance is a good old-fashioned love story - with lots of steam, no cliffhangers and a heart-melting HEA guaranteed!
