This is the story of a radical journalist, Dorothy Day, who shocked the conscience of many a patriotic American. She was jailed eight times for marching on picket lines for controversial causes. Now her canonization is in the hands of the Vatican. This is 'a riveting story about an amazing woman, written by an exceptional author with erudition, impartiality and finesse,' say the foreword. The questions it raises are as troubling today as they were in the last century. If anything, more so.

Monsignor James Murphy of the Diocese of Sacramento, California, has served as editor of the diocesan newspaper, 'The Catholic Herald,' diocesan director of communications, pastor of three bilingual parishes, rector to the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, and vicar general of the diocese. He hold a master's degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, and is author of 'Saints and Sinners in the Cristero War: Stories of Martyrdom from Mexico' and 'Beauty and Horror in a Concentration Camp: The Story of Etty Hillesum.'
