Description
Around 1412, a baby girl used to be born within the village of Domrémy who would change France perpetually. A farmer’s daughter, she gave the impression destined for an unremarkable life. But because the dramatic narrative of this World History Biography reveals, Joan’s life used to be the rest but abnormal. By the age of 13, she knew her destiny—to drive the English invaders from France. By 17, she had led an army to victory at Orléans. Captured in battle, and too poor to be ransomed, Joan used to be burned on the stake before her 20th birthday.
