Call the midwife : a memoir of birth, joy, and hard times

Call the midwife (other title)
Worth, Jennifer 1935-2011 (Author). Coates, Terri (Added Author). Worth, Jennifer 1935-2011 Call the midwife. (Added Author).

Summary: "At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in postwar London's East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies--from the plucky, warmhearted nuns with whom she lives, to the woman with twenty-four children, 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."
