That I don't know. I did have the book it was based on though.

The sequel was Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows and that's useless information that I store in my head.

Hmmm, nosiness pays off. My full Confirmation name became Laurie Jean Marie Thérèse. Of all of the Saints in the Catholic tradition, I've always loved St. Thérèse de Lisieux, so I took her name. On my trip to France, I was able to visit her birthplace.
While I was born post-Vatican 2, my maternal family believe Vatican 2 was (overall) a mistake, and maintained the naming for Saints and the fish. Even now, as a Syncretic Witch, I do fish or meatless Fridays; some training is tough to overcome.

Therese must have been the saint that all young Catholic girls loved!

Was she the saint that was know as The Little Flower? And died young, like at 16 or something? Oh and I came back to add someone else...Marebear is also a Mary.

Hmmm, she certainly has made a strong impression a lot of us Laurie. Remember how they used to hand out small holy pictures in grade school? I remember having that exact same picture.

I think because she was so devoted and died so young, is what made a big impact on me. St. Bernadette was another one.

I still have a couple of books about her, including one I read in first grade. I think what interested me the most was her family dynamic and then her certainty of what she wanted to do with her life.

She was 24 when she died in 1897. One of my favorite stories is about the time she was writing and the bell rang. She stopped mid-word and when she returned, it was finished in gold. I have a book that was my mothers called, The Photo Album of St. Therese of Lisieux. It was written in French 1961 and I have the English translation from 1962. The first photo is of Therese at age 3-1/2 and the last is of her after her death, taken by her younger sister, Celine, who had received permission to bring her photographic equipment with her went she entered the same convent in 1893.}

Nice story, Tess. The stories of the saints are always very moving. I'm just curious, as some of us are reminiscing on what we learned as kids...it seems as if some names are somewhat parochial in nature. Most who responded here seem to have been raised Catholic...interesting. Although, on second thought I shouldn't be surprised because the veneration of Mary is unique to that faith.
