During the conflict and violence of the French Revolution, Madeleine Sophie Barat founded the Society of the Sacred Heart, now an international religious institution. This biography draws on accounts by Barat's contemporaries and the many letters she wrote, some of which have not been translated before, to tell the story of a woman confronting division with personal integrity and love.
