Synopsis
Based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth; the story follows twenty-two year old Jenny, who in 1957 leaves her comfortable home to become a midwife in London's East End. She is surprised to find that she will be living in a convent: Nonnatus House.

Even after Jenny leaves Nonnatus, she continues to chronicle the lives of the midwives who have become her family.
