In confession to her priest, Tekki Lomnicki, a little person,
reveals how she dishonored her mother on a trip to Lourdes
twenty-seven years before. In Tekki's memory, her dramatic
birth, her sometimes painful relationship with her mother, Sister
Thecla (a storytelling nun), Saint Bernadette, her rambunctious
family, little league baseball, high school musical comedy, the
romantic Paris of her dreams, and the fateful trip to Lourdes, all
live again. But it will take all Tekki's courage, humor and
imagination to face the truth about her life and what happened at
Lourdes if she is to win a chance at redemption.
