The Long Loneliness - Dorothy Day - A Short Summary and Review

 

A short summary of The Long Loneliness:

The story of the Servant of God Dorothy Day, her conversion to the Catholic church, and the creation of the Catholic Worker Movement.

My favorite Dorothy Day quote from the book:

"Community - That was the social answer to the long loneliness."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

What luxuries could you live without?

Do you like to garden?

My review of The Long Loneliness:

A wonderful autobiography of the life of the Servant of God Dorothy Day.

A detailed philosophical read.

An inspiring conversion story.
