St. Rose of Lima: The Story of the First Canonized Saint of the Americas

The story for children and youth 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 pronounced love, for all things relating to God. Impr. 132 pgs 13 Illus, PB
