On a stormy summer afternoon in 19th-century Brittany, a young novice faces a life-altering decision: return to her broken, crowded home—or stay in the peaceful rhythm of convent life. But when a chance encounter with an elderly nun named Sister Mary of the Cross leads to a quiet walk through the forest, the novice learns the powerful story behind the founding of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Who is this tall woman with the atrocious straw hat and wise eyes? Why does she downplay her legacy? And what does she mean when she says, "We are like the little frogs with their peep, peep"?
Based on the true life of Saint Jeanne Jugan, Epiphany is a heartfelt historical short story about humility, hidden sacrifice, and carrying God's love into even the most difficult places. Part of the Cloud of Witnesses series, this story invites readers ages 8–12 (and their families) to discover courage, hope, and the quiet strength of a life lived for others.
