Discerning Signs of Hope in a Dark Wood

For over forty years, Rosemary Haughton has remained faithful to her extraordinary calling as a Catholic theologian with rare courage, wisdom, and candor, not as a professional academician, but as a wife, a mother, a lay minister, an artist, an activist, and an author and lecturer. Throughout her life, she has sent the rest of us beautifully written reflections on her search for an intelligent and prophetic faith lived in service to others, and especially to women who are poor. This brief book which is both retrospective and visionary is concerned with very concrete things---things which inspire gratitude and hope even in these troubling times of crisis, disappointment, and dispersal in the churches and in our political and cultural lives. Her voice remains deeply reassuring.
