St. Therese de Lisleux was a Carmelite nun who died young from tuberculosis. Dreaming to become a Carmelite nun since she was a child, Therese was at first denied admission to the strict order. However, after taking her case all the way to the pope, Therese finally obtained admission. Unfortunately, it was not until after she died and her journals were published that Therese's remarkable life inside the convent became public knowledge.
