Born in the Castilian town of Avila in 1515, Teresa entered the Carmelite convent of the Incarnation when she was 21. Tormented by illness, doubts and self-recrimination she gradually came to recognize the power of prayer and contemplation. This frank account is one of the great stories of a religious life.
