Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict


None of us are who we’re supposed to be. Carnegie, a poor Scottish immigrant, with his secretive ambitions, becomes an American billionaire. Clara Kelly, a poor Irish immigrant trying to help her family back in Ireland, arrives alone. She takes another’s identity and goes to work for the demanding mother of Andrew Carnegie. Andrew and Clara meet, then grow to depend upon and love each other. Clara’s strong moral convictions challenge Andrew’s. The story is eye-opening and a page turner.
