Mama Maggie: The Untold Story of One Woman's Mission to Love

Mama Maggie: The Untold Story of One Woman's Mission to Love the Forgotten Children of Egypt's Garbage Slums

From marketing maven to angel of the garbage districtâ€”the inspiring authorized biography of Maggie Gobran, the â€œMother Teresa of Egypt.â€ Since 1997, Maggie Gobran and her organization Stephenâ€™s Children have been changing lives in Cairoâ€™s notoriousÂ zabala,Â or garbage slums. Her innovative, transformational work has garnered worldwide fame and multiple Nobel Prize nominations, but her full story has remained untoldâ€”until now.Â Bestselling authors Martin Makary and Ellen Vaughn chronicle Mama Maggieâ€™s surprising pilgrimage from privileged child to stylish businesswoman to college professor pondering Godâ€™s call to change. She answered that call by becoming the modest figure in white who daily navigates piles of stinking trash, bringing hope to the poorest of the poor. Smart and savvy, as tough as she is tender, Maggie Gobran is utterly surrendered to her mission to the â€œgarbage peopleâ€ who captured her heart.Â At her request, the book also spotlights the people she servesâ€”the men, women, and children who prove every day what a little bit of help and a lot of love can do.
