SUMMARY:Chicago Public Library Event -  Adult Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:<p>Join us as we discuss&nbsp;<em>Call the Midwife: a memoir of Birth, Joy and Hard Times</em>, by Jennifer Worth.&nbsp; 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, <em>The Midwife</em> will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.<br><br>Refreshments will be provided.</p>
