What an amazing story. I learned so much about history, {my history}, American history and about the incredible man that Andrew Carnegie was. I knew of a library and Carnegie Hall, of course, I had absolutely no idea the expanse of his generosity. Although I am Canadian my Irish ancestors would have had the same challenges as those that settled in Pittsburgh and New England. So I found Clara's fight for her family very educational on what my own family would have experienced. I love history and fictional novels on non-fiction people and events makes it real, not just names and dates on a page in a school book. It would be so beneficial for history to be taught like this in schools.
