The Midwife’s Apprentice
Karen Cushman
When things get to hard, have you ever given up and backed off the task? In this story, Beetle, who has no family, and no home, is taken in by a midwife named Jane. She has offered to work for her in exchange for some food. She soon realizes that the midwife’s apprentice is not a very enjoyable job, but she is fortunate enough to be able to learn the skills of the midwife. After failing in a childbirth, Beetle runs away and finds a job at a cottage in a nearby town. Will Beetle return to the midwife or will she give up on the job completely?
