With archival photographs and text among other primary sources, this riveting biography of Mary Mallon by the Sibert medalist and Newbery Honor winner Susan Bartoletti looks beyond the tabloid scandal of Mary's controversial life.

This thorough exploration includes an author's note, timeline, annotated source notes, and bibliography" -- provided by publisher. | ||
