Rose Hawthorne dreamed of following in her father’s literary footsteps.  Nathaniel Hawthorne was becoming one of America's most well-known authors with the publication of The Scarlet Letter, and his success allowed the Hawthorne family to travel across Europe. Rose was eager to take-up the pen and show the world what she had to offer.

However, God had other plans for Rose. Through a series of remarkable events, Rose converted to Catholicism and gave-up her quest for literary fame. Instead, she was led to put her talents at the service of God and serve those suffering from incurable cancer. She even founded a religious order and became known as Mother Mary Alphonsa. Her inspiring life story is now made accessible in an engaging comic book format.

Loved them. Very good graphics on quality paper. Well written so they are an easy read and hold the interest to the end. I wish they were longer.

My Great Aunt

It was amazing that anyone would create a comic book of a saint - but that's just wonderful to help develop more saints.

My Dad, Eugene, a convert, took us to see our great aunt (once removed) Rose's home years ago - not realizing that she would be on her way to canonization. And to our family's surprise you made a comic book about her life - and rather comprehensive....

A Rose Among Hawthornes

A good story of a young woman from a famous family of the world. She lived a life that made her known in the next.

Servant of the Suffering: Rose Hawthorne

Illustrations were beautifully colored. The story was well told. It was overall a very informative story of a less known model of virtue.
