Definitely 5 stars (though I would gladly give it more!). Some people might accuse this author and his faith of engaging in idolatry for the perceived "worshipping" tone; but this is not a book that engages in any violation of God's commandments! Though written from a Catholic perspective, this book teaches us about a wonderful young girl, who accepted God's path for her, knowing that she was doing so at great risk. But she accepted it because she loved God and in doing so, she teaches us a fundamental lesson: be open and receptive to God's plan for you and watch the blessings that unfold.
