Before she became the legendary Joan of Arc, the child Joan lived a simple life as a farm girl in the village of Domremy. Joan saw the work of God all around her - in the tall gnarled grandfather tree, in the small gentle sheep on the family farm, in the faces of her dear friends and neighbors. Then one day Joan had a dream. She dreamed that three Saints came to her.

The Saints give Joan a glorious yet terrible mission - to reunite her war-torn country and restore its rightful king to the throne. Dutifully, Joan takes up the seemingly impossible tasks. But how, she wonders, can a simple farm girl accomplish such deeds?

In this remarkable novel we come to know a child called Joan before she became a legend.
