Therese as a little girl and picturing her at their age. It would be a great addition to any library. The story by Katie Warner and the illustrations by Leah Pumfrey are so very well done. Therese of Lisieux is concerned. To have a book devoted to them and how they met and married is such a treat. Marriage is so often lived out in the small, everyday details of life.
