Here are a list of books that I have read and wish to share with you. 

bulletClarke John, "Story of a Soul", ICS Pubs, Washington, 1996.

A must read for any Theresian Devotee.  I believe this is where you start.  Read this, and you will know all there is to know.

bulletDe Sainte- Marie Francois, "The Photo Album of St. Therese of Lisieux", Sheed and Ward, London, 1961.

Get to know Therese better through photo's taken of her during her time at the Carmel at Lisieux.  May be currently out of print.  An excellent resource. Try some of the 'used books' sites on the net.

bulletDescouvemont. P, "Therese and Lisieux", Novalis, Canada, 1996.

A magnificent journey through Therese's childhood in Lisieux, Religious life at the Carmel and her passage to Sainthood.  Big, colourful photo's never seen before.  It is expensive but worth every cent.

bulletDescouvemont P, "Therese of Lisieux and Marie of the Trinity", Alba House, New York, 1997.

Marie of the Trinity was considered to be Therese's closest friend whilst at the Carmel.  Marie was under Therese's guidance as she made her commitment to Religious life.  They shared many special moments together and these are recorded in this book.  Marie tried very hard to live according to Therese's way.  Discover how she did this.

bulletGauthier.J, "Conversations with Therese of Lisieux", Novalis, 2001, Canada.

An interesting concept.  The author takes on the role of interviewing Therese.  He cleverly links her thoughts and prayers to his statements and questions.  I got to know Therese so much more through reading this very innovative yet easy to read book.

bulletMartin.C, "My Sister St. Therese", Tan Books, Illinois, 1959

Here you have Therese's sister Celine sharing her love and thoughts about the Sister she so loved.  A very sensitive account of Therese's life and death.  A very moving account of Therese's passing into eternal life is recorded here. 

bulletO'Mahony.C. "St. Therese of Lisieux by those who Knew Her", Veritas Pubs, Dublin, 1975.

Do you want a thorough description of what Therese was really like?  This is the book to read.  There are accounts from many people who tell their story of Therese as they knew her.  These accounts were used in her Beatification.  A fascinating read.
