The book tells the story of Madeleine Barat, a French Catholic nun who founded the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the early 19th century.

Despite these obstacles, Barat's vision for the society was realized, and it grew to become a global organization with schools and missions in Europe, North America, and South America. The book also touches on Barat's personal relationships, including her close bond with her brother Louis, who served as her advisor and confidant throughout her life.
