Jennifer Worthi inspireeris seda raamatut kirjutama ühe uurimistöö autori soov, et kunagi kirjutaks keegi ämmaemandatest nii nagu James Herriot loomaarstidest. „Ämmaemand viibib iga sünni juures, ta on selle keskel, näeb kõike.“ St. Raymund Nonnatuse nunnadega koos töötades kogetud uskumatult liigutavaid, kurbi ja lõbusaid lugusid, mis elustavad 1950ndate East Endi, saadab värvikas kokni huumor. Raamatu järgi on loodud populaarne telesari „Kutsuge ämmaemand“ (2012, BBC).
