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.

Through her example, Rose inspired countless others to follow in her footsteps and seek a life of holiness and service to God. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds.
