This is the inspiring story of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, a holy young Indian woman who was converted to Christianity by the French missionaries led by Saint Isaac Joques during the 1600s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKateri's mother was a very devout Christian woman who, after being captured by the Iroquois, was not allowed to baptize her daughter. Kateri's whole family died of smallpox, and she was adopted by a chief who was very anti-Christian. When she was baptized and converted by the missionaries, Kateri became ostracized from the tribe. With the help of the priest, she made a daring escape, and thereafter lived a life devoted to God. Denied her desire to become a nun, she declined marriage and lived as a single woman with deep faith, offering her sufferings and life to Christ. She died at the age of twenty-four and is affectionately known as the \"Lily of the Mohawks.\" Kateri was canonized by Saint Pope John Paul II in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover art by Chris Pelicano\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is now part of Renaissance Learning's \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAccelerated Reader program\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e.
