In "The Midwife's Apprentice," by Karen Cushman, we follow the journey of a nameless girl in medieval England, who lives a life of hardship and scorn. Abandoned and alone, she finds refuge with a midwife, Jane, and learns the trade of delivering babies. As she develops her skills, the girl, who comes to be known as Beet, begins to gain confidence and a sense of identity. Through challenges and personal growth, Beet discovers her place in the world, grappling with issues of self-worth, community, and the significance of her newfound role.
