To work for one? Mother Teresa's mission to the poor resonated through every country, faith, income level, and worldview. Her compassion touched everyone from small children to heads of state-and one garden-variety Catholic.Journalist Alicia Young volunteered in Calcutta (now Kolkata) over Mother's final Christmas in 1996. She divided her time between Kalighat, the Home for the Dying Destitute, and a rural leprosy hospital. In The Mother Teresa Effect, she narrates her transformative journey with humanity, color, and gentle humor.As the world celebrates the newly canonized Saint Teresa, Alicia vividly: -Reveals meeting her-an encounter that veered into unexpected territory-Recounts daily life at the hospice and leprosy ward-Explains how a one-time go-go dancer coped with living in a convent-Chronicles daily life in Calcutta, from pavement dwellers to elegant soirees-Relates anecdotes from others who have felt her ripple effect-Shares simple, potent lessons she learned on gratitude and nonjudgmentAlicia Young is a US-based Australian journalist with more than fifteen years' experience as a medical reporter, foreign correspondent, and news anchor. Outside work, Alicia handles parasols and power tools with equal ease (not really, but she helpfully holds the flashlight when needed).www.aliciayoung.net
