Synopsis
A compelling autobiographical testament to the spiritual pilgrimage of a woman who, in her own words, dedicated herself "to bring[ing] about the kind of society where it is easier to be good.'', This inspiring and fascinating memoir, subtitled, "The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist," The Long Loneliness is the late Dorothy Day's compelling autobiographical testament to her life of social activism and her spiritual pilgrimage. A founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and longtime associate of Peter Maurin, Dorothy Day was eulogized in the New York Times as, "a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality." The Long Loneliness recounts her remarkable journey from the Greenwich Village political and literary scene of the 1920s through her conversion to Catholicism and her lifelong struggle to help bring about "the kind of society where it is easier to be good."

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

    An amazing woman, brave and strong both in theology and real life--a doer, not a pontifucator.
