Margaret, Friend of Orphans (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781565542112)

Margaret Haughery, Irish immigrant to New Orleans, lost everyone she ever loved, but she dedicated her whole life to the service of others. A woman who could not read or write, she possessed extraordinary business acumen, and by the time of her death, including what she had bequeathed in her will, she had donated everything she earned -- an estimated half-million dollars -- to the orphans and the poor.

This docunovel has dialogue added to enliven the text.
