A story of haves and have-nots. While the book is based on the life of Andrew Carnegie, a wealthy and ruthless businessman turned philanthropist, this is about his fictional maid, Clara Kelly. Clara takes on the identity of another immigrant to serve in the Carnegie household so she can help her impoverished family in Ireland. On a personal note, I’ve found there are still a few Carnegie libraries in my state that I wouldn’t mind visiting.
