I borrowed this book from the Sisters of Notre Dame
Education Center’s library
Summary:
It is a comprehensive biography that chronicles the life of
Dorothy Day, the co-founder of Catholic Worker.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed the biography very much. I liked that it held
nothing back. It told about her common law marriages, her short, but lawful
marriage, her political arrests, her family conflicts. You name it, it all it
was in Dorothy Day’s Biography. William
D. Miller did not leave anything out. The reader learns all about Dorothy’s
faults, how she fought for human rights and lived in solidarity with the poor.
At times, she even went against the Catholic Church to bring about change.
For these reasons I gave Dorothy Day’s biography four stars
and a grade of B. I truly recommend
reading Dorothy Day: a Biography by William D. Miller. You will be glad you did. I won’t be surprised if you walk away from it
having another person to admire.
