REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Immigrant Clara Kelly arrives in America off a boat from Ireland. She shared a dirty, crammed steerage area with hundreds of others filled with disease and fear. Her family’s last hope, she’s been sent to America to find a better life. So when circumstances push her into the Carnegie home – as the lady of the house’s maid – she does what’s best.

In the fight for a better life at the end of Civil War America, Carnegie’s Maid is historically insightful, touching and moving – all while sharing a peak into a revolutionary family’s fascinating history and the potential inspiration behind one of America’s greatest businessmen and philanthropist. Carnegie’s Maid is a fascinating mix of history with a uniquely personal feel. It’s a great read for nearly any historical fan.
