Carnegie's maid : a novel / Marie Benedict.

Benedict, Marie, (author.).

Summary:

"Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She’s not the experience 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 Clara Kelley 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 she 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 street of Pittsburgh will become 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 her employer. Revealing her past might ruin her future—and her family’s. With captivating insight and stunning heart, Carnegie’s Maid tells the story of the brilliant woman who spurred Andrew’s transformation from ruthless industrialist into the world’s first true philanthropist."--
