description: This final book in Jennifer Worth's memories of her time as a midwife in London's East end brings her story full circle. As always there are heartbreaking stories such as the family devastated by tuberculosis and a ship's woman who 'serviced' the entire crew as well as plenty of humour and warmth such as the tale of two women who shared the same husband! Other stories cover backstreet abortions the changing life of the docklands infanticide as well as the lives of the inhabitants of Nonnatus House.
