About the Author

Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997) was a nun among the destitute of the Calcutta slums who became one of the most beloved and highly respected women in the world. Recipient of many humanitarian awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, she was personally acquainted with popes, presidents, and royalty.

Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003; beatification is a precursor to sainthood.
