Publisher's Synopsis
Eloise and her family have moved to Orleans. Eloise's loneliness at her new school feeds her fascination of Joan of Arc. One day, by the river bank, she hears a voice, which tells her the story of Joan of Arc as it really happened.
It is a tale of great courage and perseverance, loneliness and cruelty. Joan of Arc, a seemingly ordinary girl, is called on by God to put the rightful king on the throne of France, and to save her country from the occupying English. Joan sets about this overwhelming task with unswerving faith and fierce determination until finally she is granted permission to lead the French army against the enemy.
