Award-winning biographer Chalon portrays Therese in all her fascinating mystery and variety, from the passionate child whose family dubbed her 'the little queen'; to the audacious teenager who defied convention to speak to the pope; to the young nun whose 'little way of love' makes sanctity assessible to all; to the dying mystic whose last words summarized her life: 'My God, I love you.' By her extraordinary love, extended to the most hardened of criminals, the most callous of charlatans, Therese gave to her contemporaries- and to everyone since- the reasurrance of hope in God's infinite mercy.
