Demi's biography is distinguished by its attention, in both words and pictures, to Mother Teresa's faith. Quotes from the Bible and from Mother Teresa's prayers effectively complement the generally chronological text. Demi's miniaturist style is also, for the most part, effective in capturing Teresa's life among the "poorest of the poor." A list of awards and honors, a map, and text references are appended.
