Very simply written - almost too simple, I first thought. But I quickly became engrossed in the story of this fascinating woman's life. My only complaint might be that it was too short, so I will be looking into other books about Edith Stein, aka St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Her journey to the Catholic faith is most unique!

The book was exactly as I had studied edith Stein. Thanks for sharing her humanity.
I would share the book with high schoolers in the same way as the diary of Anne frank who shared her life e struggles with us.
