The Midwife
A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times by Jennifer Worth


An unforgettable story of motherhood, the bravery of a community, and the strength or remarkable and inspiring women.

At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife to 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.

Fifteen Families rule the Federated Universes—and Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. She’s always been too driven to pay much attention to love. But when she meets Roman Lyons, Head of House Lyons, who stands for everything she hates, Abbie’s attraction catches her off-guard…


Their world, Ravena, revolves around born leader Roman, who dreads meeting this defiant— if stunning—rabble-rouser. But sometimes headstrong personalities that collide in public become hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private.
