AGNES AND DIANA has been written as Historical Fiction while giving a vivid and earnest account of two powerful and Iconic women of the 20th Century.AGNES AND DIANA is a comparative and descriptive study of Mother Teresa and Diana, Princess of Wales. The difference of five plus decades in age between the two supports the prospect of an unlikely friendship developing. However, over time the similarities and strength of the two women drew them together. Clearly, the needs of the poor in Calcutta were evident and prompted Mother Teresa to invite Diana to visit her hospice. Diana accepted and worked diligently with Patients - Mother Teresa was impressed, once describing Diana"... as a daughter to me. The two women were brought together through their work on behalf of the World's poor and disenfranchised; the breast cancer victim, land-mine casualties, HIV epidempic and infant, childhood diseases. Much of Agnes' and Diana's work became their own Sisterhood of Two, unofficial leaders of the Goodness in the World. The book delves into the childhood of each woman, the family, the Faith, their native Countries of Bosnia and England and discovering specific similarities that shaped each young girl and her natural empathy to Humanity. Perhaps partially answering the question, "What leads to the development of "empathy"?Helene V. Turnbull, Author, 2013
