Who is Charlotte Mason?

The Angel Orphan tells the true and inspiring story of the courageous young girl who changed the face of education in the United Kingdom and beyond. In this fictionalized biography, author Leah Boden brings to life the story of the intelligent young girl who grew to be an author and champion of education.  

Charlotte Marie Shaw Mason was born in Wales and raised as an only child in the north of England. Her family struggled, but she became a self-directed learner.

She became a faithful, thoughtful female leader in the late 1900s. The Angel Orphan is a delightful tale of hope, the joy of learning, and strength of character.
