selfless woman who is completely devoted to, and loved by, her working class
family. She spends her days doting on them and caring for her sick neighbor and
elderly mother. However, she also secretly visits women and helps them induce
miscarriages for unwanted pregnancies. While the practice itself was illegal in
1950s England, Vera sees herself as simply helping women in need, and always
does so with a smile and kind words of encouragement. When the authorities
finally find her out, Vera's world and family life rapidly unravel.
