This definitive account of the Calcutta nun contains stories and anecdotes that have appeared nowhere else and encompasses the worldwide character of Mother Teresa's missionary activity. The story includes the early family life and the beginnings of Mother Teresa's religious life through to her founding the Missionaries of Charity, which would come to care for the poorest of the poor, the most abandoned, from the streets of India and eventually around the globe.
