An involving presentation of a most remarkable woman

Dorothy Day: Champion of the Poor is the biography of one of the most respected yet controversial laypersons in modern-day Catholic spirituality. Dorothy Day's life, from the transgressions of her wild youth to her conversion and even radical activism, is covered in this narrative account, illustrated with black-and-white artwork. A straightforward and involving presentation of a most remarkable woman, who has just recently been formally entered into the Church's canonization process.
