This book is loaded with truly endearing stories of the whole life of this most simple-hearted and kind hearted woman's life, as can only told in such an affectionate way by the author herself!
It is more than the sum total of the sad and compelling, the joyful and miraculous, events in Therese's life, but a truly deep insight into the dynamics at work within them.
One will realize why Therese of Lisieux was given the title Doctor of the Church, even though her life was so very short, and how God helped her to overcome so many obstacles to starting her Religious Order.
Her genuine and most amiable child-like faith and courage brought this young French lady closer to the Almighty than most dare to dream of!
