One Woman, One Story to Tell by Jo Benhamou is a collection of anecdotes from her time as a foreign midwife working in the UK.

The mix of humour and serious stories provides a picture of how it is to work as a junior midwife and foreigner in the UK. This book is equally funny and tragic, offering just the right number of laughs to help you discover that side of hospital workers.

It is a great read for aspiring student midwives, providing plenty of thoughts to consider before applying for a career in midwifery. Jo gives a unique perspective on midwives and their work. She explains the pros and cons of being a midwife, from delivering babies to breaking bad news. She explores differences between cultures, and she also talks about the difficult work-life balance of being a midwife.

The book describes hilarious stories of misunderstandings along with the severe problems of constant short staffing.
