The book "Leonie Martin" by Fr. Stephane-Joseph Piat reissued in French - May 8, 2017

The nuns of the Monastery of the Visitation at Caen announced that Éditions Emmanuel has published a new edition of the biography of Léonie written by Franciscan Father Stephane-Joseph Piat.  Originally published in 1967 as Léonie, the book is now titled Léonie Martin: La sainteté inattendue de une soeur de Thérèse (Léonie Martin: The unexpected holiness of a sister of Thérèse) and features a short preface by Jean-Claude Boulanger, bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux.

I am delighted at this long-awaited publication, and I hope that it will serve to make the Servant of God, Leonie Martin (Sister Francoise-Therese) better known in the French-speaking world.  Who will be the first to publish it in English?  

• See more information, read the preface and a sample chapter, or order Leonie Martin from Éditions Emmanuel.
