Book summary
Therese of Lisieux was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II due to the impact of her spiritual autobiography, which was originally published in 1898. While she was still unknown, however, she held a correspondence with a young seminarian. This text contains their 21-letter exchange, revealing a side of Therese that is absent from her autobiography.
