“I found myself cheering for Olivia as she struggles with new friends and a new school. I enjoyed the marvelous weaving of St. Thérèse's life and quotes into Olivia's own life. It is a delight to read such a Catholic book that is uplifting and entertaining without being too preachy. Olivia could be you (or me) with messy room and all. Throughout the story I was wondering how would it all end. Would Olivia's own rose arrive? Olivia was such a normal girl with real problems that so many of us face -- even if we aren't in 5th grade anymore! Making good choices, struggling with tough decisions. We can often feel alone in our struggles but Olivia discovers as we all must that we are never alone. God is there and together with great saints, such as the Little Flower, we can discover that we can do more than we think we can.”
