This captivating Catholic saints biography brings to life one of the most beloved Italian catholic saints through an engaging narrative perfect for lives of saints for kids.

Discover how Thomas escaped his family's year-long imprisonment by being lowered from a castle window in a basket, complete with a fresh Dominican habit sewn by his sisters!

A Story of Courage and Calling When Thomas chose to follow God's call to become a Dominican friar, his powerful family kidnapped him and held him prisoner for nearly a year, trying everything to change his mind - including sending a beautiful woman to tempt him!
