Cath-Lit Live: Saint Thérèse, the Sleeping Saint

“Cath-Lit Live!” features brief interviews with Catholic authors who are releasing new books. Hosted by Catholic author and speaker Amy J. Cattapan, “Cath-Lit Live!” gives viewers a glimpse into the latest Catholic books while getting to know a bit about the author as well.

Saint Thérèse, the Sleeping Saint (Adventures with the Saints #2) by Maria Riley

In Book 2 of Adventures with the Saints, Joshua, Luke, and Becca are enjoying summer when an elderly neighbor falls and hurts herself. The kids desperately want to help, but they are told over and over that they are too young to help. They go on a special journey to meet Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. She seems like just a simple nun, but maybe she has an important lesson for the kids to learn. Will they ever find a way to help their neighbor friend?
