Editorial Reviews

Church & Synagogue Libraries
"A forthright portrayal of the famous leader of the Catholic Worker Movement. . . . The book stands out because it is not just another biography for student book reports; it is the earnest story of a woman who refused to conform to the mores of her generation."

Booklist
"Kent expertly distills the drama of Day's life, from her childhood, when she ’practiced being a saint,' to her death, when she may actually have come close to being one. . . . A finely detailed biography that evokes the spirit of a woman whose influence continues today."
