Summary Rose Girl unravels the mystery surrounding an orphaned girl saint in the 13th century. Named after the flowering rosa damascena, she grows up in a monastery under a tyrannical monk but flees his wrath and soon develops a mysterious gift--turning roses into rose oil--and is exploited as a saint for performing miracles. Determined to unburden herself of her servitude, the rose girl escapes to medieval Turkey and undergoes a powerful transformation when she meets the great mystic Rumi and discovers the secret of her birth. Rose Girl is a potent reminder of our capacity to turn our greatest pain into love and an unforgettable story of resilience.
