This new story from the Vision Books series for youth 9 -15 years
old is a beautiful story about the most popular saint of modern
times, St. Therese of Lisieux, the "Little Flower." Growing up in
Lisieux, France was occasionally painful but usually delightful
for Therese and her four sisters. For practical Marie, studious
Pauline, hot-tempered Leonie, mischievous Celine, and beautiful,
lovable Therese, growing up meant growing closer to God. The
Little Flower found her pathway to holiness right in her own back
yard.
With their disagreements, secrets, visits to the convent, school
adventures, and romances, these five girls are an enjoyable
handful for their kindly, widowed father. But Therese, because
she loves her family, discovers that one of her sisters might
unwittingly prevent her dearest wish from coming true.
In this Vision book, Helen Walker Homan, who writes in the
tradition of Louisa Mae Alcott, has created another classic of
delightful family life among five sisters, one of whom became a
saint. Illustrated.
