Thérèse of Lisieux lived on earth but a short time. She entered Carmel at age fifteen, lived a life of prayer and seclusion, and died of tuberculosis nine years later, at age twenty-four. But her life and example to inspire people around the world by offering them a pathway of hope and union with God. How did she do it? In this compact biography, Sister Susan Helen Wallace, FSP, unfolds the remarkable holiness of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, her insights into the power of love, and her discovery of a "little way" to heaven marked by daily acts of surrender to God and childlike confidence in his providence.
