The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times
An unforgettable true story, The Midwife is the basis for the hit PBS drama Call the Midwife

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.
