From childhood onwards, she wrote and talked about her relations with others and with God in terms of flowers, actual and symbolic. This study, based on research in the places where she lived and on the essential literature in French and English, is the first work to examine the saint from this directly appealing viewpoint. The author shows how Therese used flowers to shape her unique vision of herself, God, people, the Church and the natural world. Intended for those well-acquainted with her life and writings, but also for those who know almost nothing about her.
