A Fire Was Lighted: The Life of Rose Hawthorne Lathrop is a biography written by Theodore Maynard about the life of Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, an American writer and social worker. The book chronicles Lathrop's life, beginning with her childhood as the daughter of famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne, and following her journey as she becomes a writer in her own right and later dedicates herself to helping the sick and dying. Lathrop founded the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, an order of nuns who cared for people with incurable cancer, and the book explores her work with the order and her efforts to improve end-of-life care in the United States. Maynard's biography draws on primary sources, including Lathrop's personal letters and journals, to paint a vivid portrait of a remarkable woman whose legacy continues to inspire those who work in the field of palliative care.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
