DOROTHY DAY - PORTRAITS BY THOSE WHO KNEW HER

Now in paperback, an intimate portrait of a modern prophet.

"Here is the book you want to open when your spirits flag, a book to read to your children to show what Catholicism can truly be."--Paul Wilkes

"As long as this book survives, there is little danger that the memory of Dorothy Day will be pruned of all that made her fully human."--Sojourners

"A highly inspirational book for those who love peace, joy, and putting Christ's words into practice."--St. Anthony Messenger

In this moving and entertaining work, drawn from the memories of family, friends, and colleagues who knew her best, Dorothy Day emerges as a woman of courage, humor, and love, who left an unforgettable mark on the lives of all she touched.
