Saint Thérèse of Lisieux is one of the most widely loved modern saints. Though she died at age 24 and was little known in her own community, devotion to her spread rapidly across Europe within two years of her death. She became closely associated with answered prayers, novenas, and the sign of a flower, which helped establish her title, the Little Flower.

This minibook traces her story from Alençon to the Buissonnets in Lisieux, then to the Carmel where she lived as a Carmelite nun, and to the basilica built in her honor. Unlike general inspirational booklets, it centers on documented dates, places, and Catholic tradition, making it well suited for readers seeking a trustworthy introduction to Saint Therese for home prayer, classroom discussion, or confirmation saint research.
