Joshua, Luke, and Becca are enjoying summer when an elderly neighbor falls and hurts herself. The kids desperately want to do something to help her, but they are told over and over that they are too young to do anything. Soon afterwards, they go on a special journey to meet Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
