| Description: |
The life and work of Dorothy Day as told with illuminating detail by her granddaughter, Kate Hennessy.
Day was a living contradiction. She converted to Catholicism after a youth she described as a "disorderly life," during which she had an abortion and then gave birth to a child out of wedlock.
Hennessy draws on letters, diaries, manuscripts, Day's published works, and her own relationship with her mother and grandmother to locate Day within these contradictory selves: loving and domineering, humble and proud, vivacious and judgmental.
Dorothy Day was named a "great American" by Pope Francis. In a world preoccupied with materialism, she is a model for constructive action. Hennessy presents a loving, intimate account of an undersung champion of social justice. |
