Cushman, Karen. (1995). The Midwife's Apprentice. New York, NY: Clarion Books.

This novel was also a quick read, but the book was brimming with historical information and insight. The main character is a homeless girl called "Brat". "Brat" is a completely different person at the end of the book. She finds herself and her purpose in life. This book is definitely about perseverance and overcoming the hardships of life. This novel would be a great addition to a history lesson about the middle ages in England. Students who intend to pursuit a medical career may also be interested in reading this novel.
