A girl known only as Brat has no family, no home, and no future until she meets Jane the Midwife and becomes her apprentice. As she helps the short-tempered Jane deliver babies, Brat -- who renames herself Alyce -- gains knowledge, confidence, and the courage to want something in life for the first time. Introduction by Lois Lowry.
