    However, Teresa also wrote hundreds of letters, which gave us an immediate impression of her passion, humanity, temperment, humour, determination, and her closeness to God. Teresa's style of writing is direct and immediate. By expressing her joys and sorrows, Teresa helps us to see that being human is to be flawed and fallible, but this does not preclude us from pursuing, and in some measure attaining, the way of perfection. In this insightful and engaging book, Grimwood explores Teresa's correspondence to help us appreciate the Carmelite reformer and innovator as a real woman with important things to say to our age as well as her own.
