The Pull of the Stars(82)

Above all, thank you to all the health-care workers who risk so much and into whose hands we give ourselves. Midwife Maggie Walker was kind enough to take time during quarantine to correct some of my misunderstandings, and as on previous occasions, I owe so much to the corrections of the doubly extraordinary physician/copyeditor Tracy Roe (working through a pandemic this time). On a personal note, I’m grateful to the midwives at Womancare and Dr. Kaysie Usher of London Health Sciences Centre for the babies you’ve caught and the mothers (me among them) you’ve saved.
