"Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc — Volume 1" by Mark Twain is a historical story told as if it's from the diary of Louis de Conte, who was Joan of Arc's helper. It's about Joan's amazing life during the Hundred Years' War and how she became a super important person. The story starts by showing Joan as a kid in her town, Domremy where she is brave and kind, and how her country is being destroyed by war. We see through de Conte's eyes that she's a natural leader, really believes in what she does, and loves her country a lot. As she gets older, you can tell she's meant for something big because France is in a really bad situation and the story hints at the great changes she is destined to bring to both herself and her nation.
