Synopsis

A young peasant girl hears voices she believes are from saints and sets out to lead the French army against the English during the Hundred Years' War. Told through the eyes of her childhood friend Louis de Conte, this account follows Joan's rise from obscurity to military commander, her trial for heresy, and her eventual execution — a story of faith, courage, and conviction told with Twain's signature wit.
