Written for children, this biography of Kateri Tekakwitha brings her to life. The first Native American saint, canonized by Pope John Paul II, has a captivating story. Not only did Kateri suffer from physical handicaps, she was also persecuted by her adopted family for her aversion to many of the primitive Indian ways of life particularly the torture of their prisoners. Kateri also resisted marriage, something unheard of among the pagan Indians. Though she resisted for reasons which she perhaps did not fully understand, when Kateri became Christian, she chose to dedicate her virginity to Christ. Her conversion met with mockery, derision, and physical persecution within the village. Ultimately this led her to flee for safety to the Christian Indian village at Sault St. Louis. Here Kateri lived for two years leading an exemplary Christian life and doing penance. Kateri died happily after struggling with illness in 1680, on the Wednesday of Holy Week. Evelyn Brown tells Kateri?s story very charmingly. By adding minor characters and dialogue, Kateri comes to life for the reader.
