DESCRIPTION:
How did her name become synonymous with deadly disease? And who is really responsible for the lasting legacy of Typhoid Mary?. What happens when a person's reputation has been forever damaged? 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.
