The Borning Room

Believe it or not, hospitals were not always around. In fact, people in communities used to care for each other in their own homes. The Borning Room by Paul Fleischmann tells the story of such a place from the perspective of Georgina who grew up in 1851 Ohio, when it was a porthole to the west. Looking back, Georgina remembers many of the events that took place in the room: ranging from her own birth, to the birth of her daughter.

The history of the town is reflected by the folks who came to heal and be healed in the Borning Room. Slaves passed through as they escaped from their captors, women who were fighting for their right to vote discussed their plight, doctors using different chemicals to heal (or harm) their patients came and went as the years passed by.

This skillfully written novel will put you in the room with Georgina as she remembers its history. You will feel the triumphs and tragedies of the families that clung to each other during their hard times. You will feel the healing power of the Borning Room.
