In Good Hands: A Doctor's Story of Breaking Barriers for Midwifery and Birth Rights unfolds the riveting tale of Dr. Darrell Martin, a man whose early life, shaped by his admiration for his uncle's esteemed role in medicine and his own resilient spirit, set him on a predestined path towards becoming a physician. Through the rigors of medical school and upon finding his calling in obstetrics, Darrell took a radical shift: He chose to stand with midwifery, advocating for a more compassionate approach to maternal and child care.


His choice triggered a whirlwind of adversity, pitting him against traditional medical norms and leading to fierce legal battles that threatened his career and family. Through it all, Darrell's story is a profound narrative of perseverance, showcasing the immense power of dedication, courage, and faith in the pursuit of transformative change in healthcare.


Throughout his story, readers will learn:

    and legal challenges, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for safer

    maternal and child care.


  • Resilience Amidst Adversity: Despite facing significant obstacles,

    Darrell was determined to stand firm in his beliefs and fight for

    women's birth rights.


  • Faith and Courage: His journey was underpinned by faith, offering him

    the strength he needed to challenge established healthcare norms.


  • A Call to Action: Darrell's story is not just a personal narrative; it's an

    invitation to advocate for a more compassionate and collaborative

    healthcare system.


    In Good Hands is more than a memoir; it's a testament to the human spirit's

    indomitable capacity to challenge the status quo and make a lasting

    difference.
