This weeks Free Book Friday prize is:
Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth Joy and Hard Times
by Jennifer Worth
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, Call the Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.

This look sounds like such ain interesting read, I ihave hearrd so many thiings about midwives both positive and negatove. It would be definetly ineteresting to read a book on the shubject to have moreo or my ownview versus what people think of them.
I have been watching this series on PBS, I would actually love to get this book. The series is a wonderful look at the job of these midwives, the series has made me both laugh and cry on occasions.
The Midwife PBS show has been a great resource with my 11yr old daughter. She watches with me and it initiates really cool, important conversations I would not have had with her otherwise probably. I’m eager to read the book, to see if the same is true there too. Thankfully she still loves for me to read to her at night!
Awesome series. PBS is great (Public Broadcasting Service and PaperBack Swap).
In, please.
