St. Philomena: The Story of a Stubborn Little Princess

Wonderful story of the 13 year old Saint. It allowed me to turn over all the worry I had for my daughter, and her image still hangs in my daughters room over her closet door. ( She is 20 years old now). This little Saint showed the world what is most important, even unto death, and the story of the recovery of her bones is amazing. I still hear "Knocks" every year or two in my life, and I stop to pray and honor this wise little girl. Amodel of wisdom and modesty for today's and tomorrow's youth.

This is a great book! It is an extremely easy read, but it truly captures St. Philomena's essence, love, and devotion to our Lord. We can all draw inspiration from St. Philomena's strength, courage, and faith. Do any young person in your life a favor and give them this book to read.

I just recently learned about St. Philomena, the Patron Saint of babies and children. This is a very easy read and a more than inspiring look into the life of this beautiful, holy child. I highly recommend.

St. Philomena is a wonderful example to young women faced with the many challenges of living in today's world. Courtney Lee writes a delightful story of her life that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. This teen author brings St. Philomena to life through her inspiring words. Hopefully, young readers especially will remember her example of heroic purity and chastity and not be afraid to stand up for their Christian values.

This is the best book I have ever read on Saint Philomena… And I have read most of them. The author does a fantastic job of telling the life of Saint Philomena in such an engaging manner that I have been reading a chapter every night to my husband! I can't wait for her to write another book on a saint!

I was amazed by young St. Philomena's life, the many miracles, and the first person account of how the author presented her life. The manner in which she described her unfolding life was both suspenseful and inspiring. I was interrupted in my reading about two thirds of the way through the book and was wishing I could continue reading. When I was finally able to get back to it, I was so glad to read to the climax and conclusion. What a masterful piece of writing this young author did. This little book will be a worthy contribution and help for many youth, and their parents, as our society/culture is so misled about God's ways and graces. Parents and grandparents will find it to be an uplifting and growth-producing gift.

Amazing and excellent portrayal of the life of this model of purity and virtue that our youth should read as a source of encouragement to desire and seek holiness in their lives. An inspirational story for youth and the young of heart too.

Courtney Lee has done a wonderful job bringing St. Philomena to life for her readers. The young age of the author is remarkable and will inspire other readers of her generation. I greatly enjoyed this book and am eager to share it with my children and their friends. While avoiding the dreaded "preachy", this adorable book encourages readers to love God. An excellent gift idea for birthdays or other special occasions!

Lovely story. My daughter Philomena liked it.

My children, ages 9, 11 & 12 years old loved this book. My 9 year old son said he couldn't put it down.
