Dorothy Day's classic book Therese: The Story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, in which Dorothy shares how Therese entered and re-entered her life, how she finally became devoted to Therese, and how Therese and the Martin family inspired her in the Catholic Worker movement, has been reprinted. Dorothy was born on November 8, 1897, about five weeks after Therese's death on September 30, 1897.
About eight years after Dorothy died, I had the honor of speaking at the Catholic Worker in New York about St. Therese. Many friends and former co-worker's of Dorothy's came back to the house for the occasion, and the evening truly brought Dorothy's devotion to Therese to life for me.
