The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times Paperback - 2009
by Jennifer Worth
"The Midwife" tells the inspiring story of Jennifer Worth--a 22-year-old woman who leaves her comfortable home, moves into a convent, and becomes a midwife in post-war London's East End slums.
Summary
An unforgettable story of the joy of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the hope of one extraordinary woman
At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in post war London's East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies all over London-from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives to the woman with twenty-four children who can't speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city's seedier side-illuminate a fascinating time in history. Beautifully written and utterly moving, The Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.
