Angel of the Andes: The Story of St. Rose of Lima is a book written by Mary Fabyan Windeatt that tells the story of St. Rose of Lima, the first canonized saint of the Americas. Born in Peru in the late 16th century, Rose was known for her deep devotion to God and her selfless acts of charity towards the poor and sick.
