ROSE OF AMERICA

by Sara Maynard ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Another retelling of the story of Rose of Lime (see report on Unlikely Saints) (P. 528), this time designed for young people's reading rather than for adults. The story of a child, set apart early in life from other children by her yearning for the life of a religious, by her assumption of the path of pain. She faced the choice of marriage or entering a convent, and eventually became a Third Order Nun, living at home, working for the poor and particularly the Indian people. 17th century Lime forms the setting for this story. Definitely a Catholic market.
