520 8  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.
       We discover what happens with the gauche debutant Chummy 
       and her equally gauche policeman; will Sister Monica Joan 
       continue her life of crime?; will Sister Evangelina ever 
       crack a smile? And what of Jennifer herself? The book not 
       only details the final years of the tenements but also of 
       Jennifer's journey as she moves on from the close 
       community of nuns, and her life takes a new path
