Carnegie's Maid

A Novel

De: Marie Benedict

Narrado por: Alana Kerr Collins

From the author of The Other Einstein, the mesmerizing tale of what kind of woman could have inspired an American dynasty.

Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She's a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the other woman with the same name has vanished, and pretending to be her just might get Clara some money to send back home.

If she can keep up the ruse, that is. Serving as a lady's maid in the household of Andrew Carnegie requires skills he doesn't have, answering to an icy mistress who rules her sons and her domain with an iron fist. What Clara does have is a resolve as strong as the steel Pittsburgh is becoming famous for, coupled with an uncanny understanding of business, and Andrew begins to rely on her. But Clara can't let her guard down, not even when Andrew becomes something more than an employer. Revealing her past might ruin her future -- and her family's.

With captivating insight and heart, Carnegie's Maid tells the story of one brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie's transformation from ruthless industrialist into the world's first true philanthropist.

Well written

Carnegie’s Maid

I love historical history. I feel i learned a lot about the conditions of the “new” world and “old” world and the impacts on US Southerners & Northerners and Ireland and Scotland post famine…and US’s War between the States..The start of the Industrial Era … lost of farmland…. No regards for environment impacts…I would recommend reading this book.. I plan to read more of Marie Bennett’s novels
