Born into a working class North London family in the late 1930s, Katie is determined to 'do something' with her life. Her first choice is to be an actress and then - so she can travel - a missionary, but instead she finds herself moving across town to Poplar to become a parish worker. It's hard work, and Katie is shocked by just how poor the East End is - at least in Kentish Town they have shoes. But it is here that she first meets the Sisters of St John the Divine, and reluctantly finds her vocation.
