About this title

Synopsis

On a stormy summer night in 1982, twelve-year-old Pearl must accompany her midwife mother on a call to a client in labor. Pressed into service as a birthing assistant, Pearl is called upon to swaddle the newborn boy and hold him in her arms. As she gazes into his face, she is drawn into what her mother likes to call a thin place - a place where the distance between heaven and earth becomes so small you can see into one from the other. In this thin place, Pearl travels to The Baby-Catcher Gate. What she experiences there transforms her and she becomes a catalyst of change for her hometown in the north woods of Minnesota. Folks will never be the same.The Baby-Catcher Gate is a story about the beautiful consequences of peeking into heaven. Follow Pearl's adventure and catch a glimpse for yourself.
