Traces the mentoring relationship between Marie-Louise Castel and Sister Therese of the Child Jesus, who was later named a saint. I enjoyed the deeper descriptions of the conversation these two nuns had together, as well as the recounting of the events that led to their deaths. However, the writing seemed a bit overly academic for the subject material, which was unfortunate.

A beautiful book, well compiled of the relationship between St. Thérèse and Sr. Marie.

A very well written book and a very deep look at what real Christian friendship is all about. Each time I read it I experience something new. A very refreshing book.
