DENVER — Polson author Carmine Margo Mowbray’s creative biography based on the experiences of her aunt, a horseback nurse-midwife, won the 2014 Media Award from the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Her book, “An Answering Flame” was selected based on the ability of the story to help understand the struggles of the midwives in the hills of Appalachia.
The award is given annually and honors “a book, media event, film, or expression of art that presents midwifery in an accurate and positive manner.”
Mowbray accepted the award at the ACNM annual conference held recently in Denver. The event gathers professionals from all over the country and many foreign countries.
“I was thrilled for the recognition from this national organization,” Mowbray said. “I was overwhelmed by the passion these people have for their work. It was an honor presenting their story for lay readers to appreciate.”
The 206-page book includes historic photos of Kentucky’s Frontier Nursing Service, sells for $15.95 and is available, autographed, at local stores. Softcover and Kindle versions are available at Amazon.
