Description

This is the story of the great St. Teresa of Avila, who was a woman of great heart and immense common sense and who was a woman of great heart and immense common sense and who was one of the most remarkable women in the history of the world. She reformed Carmel - thus making the Carmelite Order into a mother of Saints - and leaving a tremendous mark on the Catholic Church even to this day.

Mother Frances Alice Monica Forbes, also known as F.A. Forbes, was born in 1869 into a Presbyterian family. She converted to Catholicism in 1900, and entered the Society of the Sacred Heart as a postulant when she was thirty-one. She was a strong-willed and intelligent woman, and used both these gifts to generously make the sacrifices that the Lord wished of her daily. F.A. Forbes authored a considerable amount of books based on the saints, including St. John Bosco: Friend of Youth, St. Monica, St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Benedict, and The Gripfast Series of English Readers. She died in 1936.
