About the author
Born Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin in Alençon, France, in 1873, she entered the Carmelite convent at Lisieux while still very young and lived there under the name Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. Although she died in 1897 at just 24, her life and writing would have an influence far beyond the walls of her convent.
She is especially remembered for her “little way,” a path of holiness shaped by humility, trust, and love in ordinary daily acts rather than grand achievements. That spiritual vision was shared most widely through her memoir, Story of a Soul, which helped make her one of the best-known saints of modern Christianity.
Later honored as a Doctor of the Church, she is often called the “Little Flower.” Readers return to her work for its direct, personal voice and for the way it turns an inward, hidden life into something vivid and deeply human.
