""Little Sister: The Story of Blessed Imelda, Patroness of First Communicants"" is a children's book written by Mary Fabyan Windeatt. The book tells the story of Imelda Lambertini, a young girl who lived in Italy in the 14th century. Imelda was born into a wealthy family and was known for her love of God and the Eucharist. She longed to receive her First Holy Communion, but was not allowed to do so until she was old enough. Imelda's devotion to the Eucharist was so strong that she one day received a miraculous vision of Jesus in the Host. When she finally received her First Communion, she was so overwhelmed with joy that she died on the spot. The book also explores the miracles that were attributed to Imelda after her death and her eventual beatification by the Catholic Church. ""Little Sister"" is a heartwarming story of faith, devotion, and the power of the Eucharist, and is a great introduction to the life of a beloved saint.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
