A book that gathers into one volume what Mother Teresa said and wrote about her life, her work, her faith and the joy she found in it, edited by José Luis González-Balado and Janet N. Playfoot and published by Harper & Row in 1985 (about 110 pages); Ballantine issued a paperback in 1987. Arranged as a story of her life in her own words, it is catalogued by libraries as autobiography, under the Missionaries of Charity and work with the poor.
