From the author of The Other Einstein, the mesmerizing tale of what kind of woman could have inspired an American dynasty.
Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced 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 woman with the same name 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 steel Pittsburgh is becoming 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 an employer. Revealing her past might ruin her future - and her family's.
With captivating insight and heart, Carnegie's Maid tells the story of one brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie's transformation from ruthless industrialist into the world's first true philanthropist.

The book is well written and researched. Our protagonist is a fictional person placed into a real situation. She is a young Irish girl who works as a maid for Andrew Carnegie. I have read a number of biographies about Carnegie so was interested in how Benedict was going to weave her fictional person into his life. Benedict does a great job painting the pictures of life as a tycoon during the industrial revolution. I believe some referred to this period as the Gilded Age. Benedict brings the period to life. I highly recommend this book.
The book is eight hours and one minute. Alana Kerr Collins does an excellent job narrating the book. Collins was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She is the winner of an Audie Award and numerous other narration awards. She is an actress, singer and audiobook narrator.
