Mary Jo Copeland is often referred to as "America's Mother Teresa." She is undoubtedly a guardian angel to the 20,000 homeless and working poor who cross her threshold at Caring & Sharing Hands each month. GREAT LOVE tells Mary Jo Copeland's story from her difficult childhood, to raising her own family of 12, to her great love for forgotten children, lonely addicts, the abused and homeless. Proceeds from the book will go directly to helping the poor and needy.
