At this very moment, the child is playing happily on a beach somewhere in Devon.'

The first section was about the workhouses and the children who were forced to live there. It was awful reading about how the workhouse kids were treated, how their spirits were broken, and how most people believed they deserved to be treated like utter rubbish even though they couldn't help the circumstances they were born in. It was kind of terrifying that such atrocities only occurred in very recent history. When Jennifer Worth met Jane many years after her workhouse experience, she could not reconcile the story of that lively child with the woman she saw before her. The Jane that Jennifer Worth met never spoke above a whisper and moved about as if she were expecting someone to strike her. She seemed to live in a perpetual state of anxiety and she was consumed by her need to be approved of by the sisters of Nonnatus House. In the end, Jane's story DID have a happy ending. One of the nuns engaged in a bit of matchmaking and Jane married a kind man… a reverend.. who performed missionary work in Africa. Jane finally belonged to someone.. and he belonged to her. The young can be very lovely, but the faces of the old can be truly beautiful. Every line and fold, every contour and wrinkle of Sister Monica Joan's fine white skin revealed her character, strength, courage, humanity and irrepressible humour.” Fortunately, not all of the book was grim. There were some entertaining stories, such as the time Sister Monica Joan was prosecuted for shoplifting, or when an anxious, mousy young woman named Jane fell in love with a nice reverend. There were also good stories about British army life in the early 1900s.Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen's daughter Sami Sheen, 19, wears only white lace lingerie for Halloween as she poses with a friend
