Tuesday Book Club

Join us for this month's book, 'Carnegie's Maid,' by Marie Benedict.

The Tuesday Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month. We discuss a wide variety of genres but focus on popular fiction and nonfiction. 

Carnegie's Maid

Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She is not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She is a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the woman who shares her name has vanished, and assuming her identity just might get Clara some money to send back home.

Clara must rely on resolve as strong as the steel Pittsburgh is becoming famous for and an uncanny understanding of business: attributes that quickly gain her Carnegie's trust. But she still cannot 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 is a book of fascinating 19th century historical fiction. Discover the story of one brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie's transformation from ruthless industrialist to the world's first true philanthropist.
