[Linda Kemp · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful biography that inspires everyone to find God and His "love".

[Stephanie Baldwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Detailed but disjointed: I was never certain which Marie they were talking about, the time lines were sometimes confusing. A good introduction to Therese.

[Annie Garvey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Now St. Théresé probably would have been hospitalized or at least on medication. The agonies the adolescent Théresé suffered could be labeled as hysteria. I would like to read her original diaries -- not the ones edited by her sister. I believe that Théresé's passion was raw, real and illuminating.
