Growing up in Lisieux, France, was occasionally painful but usually delightful for Therese Martin (the Little Flower) and her four sisters. For practical Marie, studious Pauline, hot-tempered Leonie, mischievous Celine, and beautiful, lovable Therese, growing up meant growing closer to God. The Little Flower found her pathway to holiness right in her own backyard. With their disagreements, secrets, visits to the convent, school adventures, and romances, these five girls were an enjoyable handful for their kindly, widowed father. But Therese, because she loved her family, discovered that one of her sisters might unwittingly prevent her dearest wish from coming true. Paperback, 149 pages. Ages 9-12
