Loaves and Fishes

“Marking the centenary of Dorothy Day’s birth in 1897, this new edition of Loaves and Fishes makes a modern religious classic available to a new generation. A companion to her autobiography, The Long Loneliness, this is Day’s frank and compelling account of thirty years as leader of the Catholic Worker Movement and editor of its newspaper.” “Blending a journalist’s perceptions with emotional commitment and warm humor, she shares experiences amid the abandoned and impoverished, the hopeful and idealistic. In the process, she brings to life a host of remarkable personalities, and reveals a life of faith in action.” “A unique document of American social history, Loaves and Fishes offers powerful testimony to the unswerving faith of a woman dedicated to improving the lot of all people, and creating a viable alternative to the growing ills of a chaotic world.”–BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
