I admit I became more interested when I read about the "unlikely transformation of a young girl, a child of privilege, into a saint beloved by the poor." <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alexis! ;)Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-78360347315556537472012-09-02T23:53:18.342-05:002012-09-02T23:53:18.342-05:00Sounds like a pretty unique tale.

I like that her story is told through an outside observer's eyes...I wonder what the difference would be if told from her POV.<br /><br />Doesn't sound like something I'd normally pick up, but you make it sounds interesting enough.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010634004221131416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-29772564590794225262012-09-01T19:29:29.219-05:002012-09-01T19:29:29.219-05:00I love that feeling of getting lost in a book like...I love that feeling of getting lost in a book like you did with this one!<br /><br />Thanks for being on the tour.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttp://tlcbooktours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-68913767594300538232012-09-01T14:06:33.543-05:002012-09-01T14:06:33.543-05:00It sounds really good until the sad, sad part.
