This compelling book for young readers was released in 2008 during the 150th anniversary of the heavenly apparitions to Saint Bernadette. In 1858, 14-year-old Bernadette saw the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France. Millions of pilgrims now visit the site every year and many are healed by the miraculous spring that emerged there. Yellow Roses on Her Feet is a beautifully written drama of Bernadette's gentle courage in the face of desperate poverty, illness, official threats and intrusive publicity. The book's easy-to-read style draws readers through her captivating life to a finale of beauty and hope.
