Publisher's Synopsis
Mother Teresa tells the inspiring story of the most revered and loved woman of our times. Born in Albania in 1910, Mother Teresa joined the Missionary Sisters of Loreto and was sent to India to teach in a high school. In Calcutta she saw the staggering poverty, disease and misery of the poor often left to die in the streets. Mother Teresa felt called by God to live among these outcasts to nurse and care for them and enable them to die in dignity. Elaine Murray Stone tells the incredible story of how God blessed the Missionaries of Charity, which Mother founded, and how their work spread around the world. Young and old will find this moving account of these heroic women living the Gospel a source of deeper faith, hope and Christian commitment. †
