Elise Ann Allen, journalist and Rome correspondent for the Catholic news site Crux, offers here the only biography of Pope Leo XIV featuring an interview with the Holy Father―the pope’s very first interview after his election. She gives readers an intimate and detailed account of the life of Robert Prevost from his birth in Chicago and his first years as a priest in the Augustinian order to his years as a missionary in Peru and the vital role he came to play in the Vatican as head of bishops. The result is an inspiring picture of a man of profound character, spiritual leadership, integrity, warmth, and citizenship in the world.
