"Maria Goretti was not 12 years old when she was faced with that monumentous decision in July of 1902: Sin or death. Maria's answer to her assailant was clear: No! No! It is a sin! God does not want this! Her attacker named Alessandro stabbed Maria 14 times, and little Maria became another virgin martyr in the line of St. Agnes and St. Cecilia. Here is the beautiful story of Maria's virtuous life that led to her heroic choice, of the Goretti family's terrible poverty, Maria's first Holy Communion, her having to shoulder adult responsibilities, her forgiveness of her murderer, her lingering death, and finally her public elevation to sainthood-with her mother in attendance. ~Softcover, 87 pages."
