This is not an easy nor a quick read. These are St Therese the Little Flower's own words, her writings from the last years of her young life. Her sister (Mother Superior in her convent) asked her to make a record of her life and her spiritual journey for the other sisters to read, and during her illness in those remaining years she humbly opened her heart and lessons and put them on paper - those words now inspire and encourage us to draw closer to her beloved, Christ, and to live lives of greater devotion to Him, His Mother, and the Church. A powerful book that will change you, but expect to take it slowly for there is so much to meditate over!
