Title: St Clare of Assisi: Runaway Rich Girl
Publisher: Pauline Books & Media

Saint Clare seemed to have it all—wealth, a loving family, and a strong faith. Her father carefully planned her future, arranging a prestigious marriage that matched their noble status. Her intended husband was handsome and well-born, and Clare wished to honor her family’s wishes.

But everything changed when she heard St. Francis speak about the love of Jesus. Inspired by his example, Clare felt a deep calling to embrace the poverty of Christ, live among the poor, and serve them wholeheartedly. She knew this life would be impossible as the wife of a nobleman.

In this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, readers discover how Clare bravely ran away from the only life she had ever known to begin a bold and radical journey of holiness. Following in the footsteps of St. Francis, she founded a new religious order for women—known today as the Poor Clares.

Told in a vibrant Shoujo-manga style, this engaging story introduces children ages 9 to 12 to the courage, faith, and joy of St. Clare of Assisi.
