Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty: An Intimate Portrait of My Grandmother by Kate Hennessy

informative medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this book, and learned a lot! I appreciated that the author was Dorothy Day's granddaughter--I think it allowed us to see a side of Dorothy that maybe another author would not have experienced. I also really appreciated that so much of the book discussed Dorothy's daughter Tamar. It was interesting to see inside of the dynamic between mother and daughter, and how even in their differences, they had an irreconcilable bond. This book is for more than just Catholics--it is for anyone who enjoys learning about people, especially those who are strong of will, dedicated to helping others, and seen as an outsider to most of the world.
