Much has been written about Saint Therese of Lisieux herself, but this book tells the stories of those around her who would describe themselves as ‘lesser souls’ compared to Therese, but who nevertheless put into practice her ‘Little Way’. They were a vital part of her life, the four sisters in her family, her cousin and the many sisters in the Lisieux monastery. These people are interesting in their own right, so varied in their personalities; they were touched by Therese and their lives were changed by her, but they also played an indispensable part in forming her in becoming the saint she is.
