Perhaps one of the most beloved saints of recent times, St Thérèse of Lisieux's life was quiet, humble, and very short. In the final years of her life, this unassuming saint was asked to record not only her life but her "Little Way", the spiritual maxim to do little things with great love. Published only after her death, the profound influence of these writings on the spirituality of the faithful led to her being named a Doctor of the Church, the youngest to date.

For ardent devotees of St Thérèse as well as for those more hesitant in their devotion to the saint, this deeply personal biography paints a vivid and relatable picture of the saint who somehow became smaller and simpler as she grew.
