"The publication of the letters of Dorothy Day is a significant
event in the history of Christian spirituality." --Jim Martin, SJ,
author of "My Life with the Saints"
Dorothy Day, cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement, has been
called the most significant, interesting, and influential person in
the history of American Catholicism. Now the publication of her
letters, previously sealed for 25 years after her death and
meticulously selected by Robert Ellsberg, reveals an extraordinary
look at her daily struggles, her hopes, and her unwavering faith.
This volume, which extends from the early 1920s until the time of
her death in 1980, offers a fascinating chronicle of her response
to the vast changes in America, the Church, and the wider world.
Set against the backdrop of the Depression, World War II, the Cold
War, Vatican II, Vietnam, and the protests of the 1960s and '70s,
she corresponded with a wide range of friends, colleagues, family
members, and well-known figures such as Thomas Merton, Daniel
Berrigan, Cesar Chavez, Allen Ginsberg, Katherine Anne Porter, and
Francis Cardinal Spellman, shedding light on the deepest yearnings
of her heart. At the same time, the first publication of her early
love letters to Forster Batterham highlight her humanity and
poignantly dramatize the sacrifices that underlay her vocation.
"These letters are life-, work-, and faith-affirming." --"National
Catholic Reporter"
