Complete Works: Letters from Carmel (Vol. 2)

Rating:
Summary: An astonishing character - I couldn't put the book down.
Review: I'd never heard of this woman. I literally picked this book up because I was desperate for something new to read. These letters chronicle her life from the moment she entered Carmel until her death. She is both simpler and more complex than St. Therese of Lisieux, but a woman completely in love with God and completely in TOUCH with love. Outreaching, unafraid to love with seemingly her whole heart. This much love is staggering. I couldn't put the book down, because I had simply never encountered such a creature. Now, I find myself, everyday, remembering one of her phrases. I will have to get the first volumne, now.
