An inside view of Mother Teresa's heroic love at work
A moving first-hand account of Mother Teresa and her work, written by someone who worked by her side. As an idealistic young volunteer, author Susan Conroy spent a summer serving in one of Mother Teresa's orphanages and in the Home for the Dying. "In a city where I found hell on earth," she says, "I also found each day a deep sense of peace and incredible happiness."
It was an experience that changed her life forever. She learned why Mother Teresa had found real joy in working with the poorest of the poor. Along the way, she took striking photographs that have never been seen before now - photographs that show Mother Teresa at her everyday best. This is an account you won't soon forget, told with simple and loving directness by an eyewitness.

Ms. Conroy's account of her experience with the saint for the poor is astounding. It shows how powerfully God can work through one humble and obedient person. Reading this book inspired me to deepen my relationship with Jesus and Mary. My devotion went to a deeper more personal level. I have given this book to many in hopes that it touches them in a similar manner.
