ANGIE McCOY

The Woman Who Doesn't Need Another Cause. So Naturally, She Finds One.

Angie McCoy may live comfortably now, but she has never forgotten what an empty cupboard looks like.

Raised in an Italian family in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angie remembers watching her mother somehow turn almost nothing into dinner. Maybe that's why a comfortable retirement never persuaded her to become particularly comfortable with other people's suffering.

A former Connecticut social worker, Angie has spent her life getting involved. If ordinary people need somebody in their corner, there's an excellent chance Angie has already pulled up a chair.

She even missed the Miracle Ladies' fake miracle—but she had a pretty good excuse. She was in remote regions of Africa helping provide food and medical care through the McCoy Foundation.

In Hello Chaos, Angie finds another mission at St. Monica's: repurposing donated clothing so people struggling financially can walk into a job interview looking—and feeling—like they belong there.

It's another part of one of Ida's cockamamie plans.

Which means Angie fits right in.

She's also the fiercely loving mother of Troy McCoy—and considers Logan Conway another son, paperwork notwithstanding.

Angie knows money can make life easier.

She also remembers when there wasn't any.
