St. Rose of Lima
The Story of the First Canonized Saint of the Americas
By: Mary Fabyan Windeatt
The story for children, ages 10 and up, of St. Rose of Lima, who became a hermit in her own home--rather than go to a convent--and how she became a great Saint. At her confirmation in 1597, she took the name of Rose, because, when an infant, her face had been seen transformed by a mystical rose. As a child, she was remarkable for a great reverence and a pronounced love for all things relating to God. Impr. 132 pgs, 13 Illus, PB.
