Therese of Lisieux, the 'Little Flower.' Growing up in Lisieux, France was occasionally painful but usually delightful for Therese and her four sisters. Illustrated This story from the Vision Books series for youth 9 -15 years old is a beautiful story about the most popular saint of modern times, St. In this Vision book, Helen Walker Homan, who writes in the tradition of Louisa Mae Alcott, has created another classic of delightful family life among five sisters, one of whom became a saint.

But Therese, because she loves her family, discovers that one of her sisters might unwittingly prevent her dearest wish from coming true. With their disagreements, secrets, visits to the convent, school adventures, and romances, these five girls are an enjoyable handful for their kindly, widowed father.
