The Midwife's Apprentice by, Karen Cushman. ISBN-13: 978-0064406307
This 1996 Newberry Medal story transports readers into medieval England to accompany our heroine, Alyce, as she grows into the person she was always meant to be. Alyce, a penniless girl who slept in dung heaps to stay warm, becomes apprentice to Jane Sharp, the only midwife around. Alyce deals with taunts and ridicule throughout the village, but ultimately the person she most needs to makes amends to is herself.
