The first American-born person ever to be canonized as a saint, Rosa of Lima was known both for her life of severe asceticism and her efforts to care for the needy of Lima. Declared as a saint by the Catholic Church, she became the true patroness of Peru and the indigenous natives of Latin America. This beautiful work constitutes an invaluable study on the life of this exceptional person, as well as the historical context of her eventful existence. It represents an endeavor of rare depth and insight, being filled not with only anecdotes of the greatest historical relevance, always mentioned to shed light on the context of the life of the saint, but also with personal details on her life and character, to make possible a better understanding of the exceptional, extraordinary person that she was.
