An Unflinching Look at Lisieux, the Little Flower, and the Little Way
Readers of these remarkable pages will dicover the real Thérèse of Lisieux: an intense soul living a life of heroic grandeur amidst dull and all-too-worldly associates, a soul driven by a burning love of God even as she wrestled privately with great physical and emotional pain. And yet she smiled!
The author, Henri Ghéon reltes what lay behind her smile. The soul behoind the smile is why she was canonized. And that's why Thérèse is the saint most fitted for our day, a model for those of us whom, whether we like it or not, God has called to hidden lives of quiet drama, desire, and holy sacrifice.
