The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman
3.0

Read for Newberry Challenge - 1996 winner

Why are all Newberry books incredibly depressing. This book takes place in the 14th century and focuses on an orphan homeless girl who takes everything in stride despite living an incredibly depressing life with very little love except from a cat. The ending is semi redemptive but still.
