Midwife Izzy is devastated to learn that her beloved grandmother is dying. Abandoned as a baby by her own mother, her grandparents have been the only family Izzy has ever known and she wants to spend every last precious moment with them.
New locum vicar, Noah, is a wonderful support –
kind, considerate and always there for Izzy whenever she needs a shoulder to
cry on. But secretly Noah is battling his own doubts about his faith – how can
he offer Izzy comfort if he doesn’t truly believe his own words?
When Izzy and Noah are brought together to
support grieving parents, Noah reaches breaking point. He can't stay in Port
Agnes and live a lie. But Izzy is adamant it’s the only place she can be….
Will love find a way or will Izzy's hopes of a
future be dashed?

An emotional return to Port Agnes and our favourite group of
midwives. I thoroughly enjoy returning to this series with each new book giving
us more about one of the lovely midwives we have already come to know. Whilst
it’s great to catch up with the previous characters storylines, each can be
read as a standalone – if you haven’t read any of this series don’t worry, this
book in particular is quite a step away from what we have come to know and love
(but in a brilliant way of course!)
Its an emotional, poignant read that will strike a chord
with even the coldest heart. Whilst we still look at the lives of soon to be parents,
and new born babies, Izzy’s story also lets us take a look at the sad, but
realistic aspect of those getting to the end of their life too. Izzy has known
her Nonna’s terminal illness has but a limit to the time she has left but
everyone is determined they make the most of the time they have left. This
leads to wonderful, life affirming, memorable moments but of course, it comes
with sadness and heartbreak too.
In finding some final days of happiness, Izzy’s Gran turns
to Noah, Port Agnes’ temporary Vicar, and the church gardens. Noah himself is
having a crisis of faith, wanting to do good but not confident he has found the
best way to do this. His chemistry with Izzy is instant but both struggle with
their own personal battles and this could be the barrier neither can get over.
I really enjoyed A leap of Faith for the Cornish Midwife;
emotive and engaging but containing both heart break and heart-warming moments.
As always the supporting cast of characters brought their own moments of
entertainment and I am already looking forward to the next book.
A great summer read, I recommend everyone take a read of
this book but also the others in this series.
