Title
A Stigmatist : Marie-Rose Ferron
Description
An impassioned tribute to Marie-Rose Ferron, or "Little Rose," of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Little Rose is revered in local Catholic mysticism for her experience of the stigmata - the miraculous appearance of the wounds of Christ on her body - and the piety with which she led her short life. This book shares the story of Rose and the Ferron family through recollections, second-hand accounts, and historical research. A unique portrayal of the Franco American community of Woonsocket through the lens of its devout religiosity around the time of the Sentinellist Affair. Features the community's remembrances, its prayers, the phenomena it attributes to Rose, etc. Strangely crafted, with each chapter filled by often disconnected events related in single paragraphs separated by title headers.
