The Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux
Summary
The Story of a Soul (l'Histoire d'une Âme) is the autobiography of Thérèse of Lisieux. It was first published on September 30, 1898, a year to the day after her death from tuberculosis at the age of 24, on September 30, 1897. The book was a single volume formed from three distinct manuscripts - manuscripts of different length, written at different times, addressed to different people, and differing from one another in character. The work of unifying these disparate manuscripts was carried out by Pauline, the sister of Thérèse. It was initially published with a limited audience in mind, the Carmelite convents and certain religious personalities, and just 2000 copies of the 475-page book were printed. It quickly became a publishing phenomenon, however, and Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus was canonised in 1925. St. Dismas Catholic Classic editions are all new translations.

Diane's Quest
Summary
Diane's Quest is the sequel to the spellbinding novel Her Private Drive. In this novel, Diane's story is mainly about solving problems in everyday living that accumulate and begin to spill over into other lives that are directly connected to one another. Even when it's painful and entices the listener with emotional depth and curiosity, this audiobook is seriously derived from great warmth and powerful energy. It has the wit and irony found in moments of complete despair and is overrun with intrigue that proves to be Diane LeNell and her family's saving grace.
