Two and a half
years before her death in l897 at the age of 24, Therese Martin began writing down her
childhood memories at the request of her blood sisters in the Lisieux Carmel, few could
have guessed the eventual outcome. Yet this story of her soul which was first published in
1898 in a highly edited version, quickly became a modern spiritual classic, read by
millions and translated into dozens of languages around the world.
